Navigating this platform - I need help how to

I’d like to follow certain people is this possible? I’ve not figured it out if you can.
I’d like to save posts for later reading is there a way?
Is there a guide with this info and more? I’m usually good at figuring out platforms but I’m having issues here.
I just became a supporter because I appreciate and need the help

So, in regards to following users, what specific functionality were you looking for? If you go to a user's profile, there's a link at the bottom to Add to address book which follows a user in a sense. When someone's in your address book they will appear on your home screen under the Friends Online section, and you can click on their name to view their profile. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, though.
To save an individual post for later reading, you can click the small reminder icon at the bottom of the post, and it will appear in your home screen under the Post Reminders section. Or, you can save an entire thread by scrolling all the way to the bottom, and in the "Extra information" section, clicking the small "Toggle Favorite" link. It will then appear in the Favorite Topics section, again on your home screen.
The forum software has kind of grown organically over the past 20 years and unfortunately there isn't a consolidated guide to all the features and functionality. There's some basic information in the FAQ and there are standalone guides for important features like image uploading and searching, but they're not all grouped together and easily accessible. This is definitely something we need to work on, but if you have any specific questions about using the site, please feel free to ask and we'll be glad to help!

I've been wondering what the leftmost "filter" icon does, and how to use it. I'm not usually at a desktop, so mouse-over is not an option for me, and searching for "filter" on this site returns a LOT of results for physical filtering, but not much about post filtering.
Sorry for the noobishness, but I did spend a fair amount of time looking before asking, honest!
Thanks!

Can you take a screenshot and share it here? I use this site exclusively on mobile but don’t see a filter thing youre talking about
Are you talking about the Golf Tee looking icon in the extras section?
I believe that is like a permalink button that allows you to share a specific response by link like this https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/28142983/filter/28237951

If you click the "filter" icon, it will show only that author's post(s) in the current thread. It's mostly useful for longer threads where you're primarily interested in what one person has to say.

Yes, the golf tee. Oh my gosh! Filtering for author within a thread is an amazing superpower! I wish I had asked sooner, I've been paging through 50+ page threads looking for status updates from a given user. This changes everything!
Thanks!
