It’s a lot safer to bookmark your own posts/replies than it is to allow easy searching of posts/users across all instances. “Convince” is what got us into the social media hellscape we’re in today.
Sometimes a comment only turns out to be useful weeks after it's made.
Lemmy allows that already : https://lemmy.zip/search?q=+&type=All&listingType=All&creatorId=24759872&page=1&sort=TopAll&titleOnly=false

You would need to be able to search saved posts which would also be useful, but not nearly as much.
I’m not sure we’re understanding each other.
I’m saying you save the interesting content via bookmark before you lose it. If you lose track of it, it wasn’t that interesting. If you have that “wait that reminds me of this post” moment and don’t save it, don’t go treading on my privacy to find your “ah hah” retort.
And I'm saying you can encounter the same issue of not finding a post whether you save it or not. If you suggest saving content to reference later, there also needs to be a way to search within those saved posts. Otherwise, it’s essentially the same problem as not being able to find it without having saved it.
