The profile notes feature on Mastodon is very useful but also perhaps slightly unclear if you've never used it before.

It works like this:

Go to a person's profile by clicking on their name, look for the "Note" section and then click on "Click to add note", start typing and it saves it automatically. The note is only visible to you.

This is really handy if you interact with lots of people and need to remember (for example) why you follow someone etc.

@feditips An excellent note about notes! (They're notes to self.) Thank you, @feditips

@feditips Well that's interesting, but also remember that your server admin can see those notes, so expect them to all get leaked some day.

@feditips My first day on Mastodon I tried to send someone a note this way.

Didn't work.

Sorry to be obtuse, but I’ve tried this on a couple of profiles and can’t see any ‘notes’ section or link. How do you find it?

@feditips can also be nice to keep track of followers who insist on using wildly different usernames between platforms 😏
