Really missing a true "save" ability for posts and comments on kbin

I am aware that upvoted posts make it to https://kbin.social/fav however that just doesn't work well as I already have 1,000+ pages in there. Moreover, that only registers upvoted posts and not comments. A workaround would be to just use boost, and only upvote when you want to "save" but that is just not conventional imho. The ability on /r to simply save a comment or a post is truly basic but effective.

There is an open issue about adding a bookmark functionality.
- Hell yes!
  Hope it happens.
  
  When I first started here, the reputation score was still calculated only on the boosts you had received and didn't take any upvotes you receive into account.
  Within two weeks, ernest had that changed based on our feedback. I have full faith that he'll get a save function in place as well. Just give him some time; he said he was taking a break from the task list to focus on stability for a minute with the huge use growth happening right now.
  Also, buy the man a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin
- my fingers are twitching to close this kbin thread as duplicate haha
  
  Hahaha, I say leave it up for the new people who are all thinking of the same list of requests to see
- @Pamasich
  @frasassi correct I created this ticket already. It's on the todo list.

I actually do the opposite, I upvote things I like and boost stuff I want to save.
I agree though, I would appreciate a dedicated save feature (especially one that's more robust than reddit's)
- Yes! Private rss with self posts only linking to the site, all others linking to the source please and thank you.

Agreed. I also miss MultiReddits. Still, kbin shows a lot of promise. I think it will evolve and keep getting better. 😊👍

I have this convoluted system where I boost something here, then log into my Mastodon account and bookmark it there...
It works as a stop gap so I don't lose things, but would DEFINITELY be better to not have to do that lol

Yeah honestly I'd like for upvotes, boosts and saves to actually work in more conventional ways we're used to in other social media, instead of this weird "boost is actually an upvote but it's also a retweet" and "upvote does nothing but actually saves it to your profile"
- The recent updates have already made it work as you expect. Upvotes are upvotes. Boosts are still boosts but are also counted as being worth 2 votes.
  
  Worth noting this is only for reputation.
  The sorting algorithm still doesn't consider upvotes.
- instead of this weird "boost is actually an upvote but it's also a retweet"
  The purpose of a boost/retweet is to increase the reach of content, so I think it's appropriate that on kbin it acts like how a reddit upvote would.

You can use your browser's bookmarks.

I would like this and my 2 feature requests would be:
available as ?secure?ish? RSS feed
Do not limit to 200 items like reddit. If it must be done, notify the user so they can save older content
