HN also has a "favorite" button you can use to save things for later.

Just fyi that favorites are public.

By default..? Oh dear.

...I did not know this. So thank you for letting us know.

I also just learned that by visiting one's own profile, one can see which submissions and comments they've upvoted—which is private, unlike favorites[1].

Where is that favorite button? I have never seen that functionality.

You have to click through to the comment’s page to use it - it’s not on the main page.

Click on the "n minutes ago" time stamp next to the user name.

For example, it's on this page:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28880280

That's the perma link for that comment. The favoriting action should maybe exist in the thread as well.

Found it: just click on the comments’s time, and you will see the “favorite” option underneath the link.

You can favorite a comment

Just upvote or favorite it and you can find it in your profile.
