You can ‘save’ an article by clicking the disk icon above the ‘Tags’ section below an article.
There’s no link anywhere to see articles that you’ve previously saved, but you can manually go to the following URL to see them: http://lesswrong.com/saved/
It seems like an oversight on the part of the developers that the ‘saved’ functionality they got for free from the reddit codebase still works correctly, and the saved pages are accessible, but there’s nothing in the UI that indicates how to access the page of previously saved articles.
I actually agree with you. There are many simple or sophisticated solutions of various kinds for browsers, ranging from the builtin bookmarks to extensions like ReadItLater to bookmarking websites like Delicious. There is no advantage to doing it inside LW, and if there were, it is a feature that is not a priority. (Reddit has a ‘save submission’ feature, and it’s not one I’ve ever found particularly useful nor have I heard that others have found it useful.)
I actually do use the ‘save’ feature in reddit. I find it a handy way to distinguish articles that I found especially useful or high-quality, or that I know I’ll want to look at again in the future. Maybe I’m an exception though, because I don’t use browser bookmarks or any other bookmarking-type service very much.
That functionality still works in lesswrong just as it does in reddit, but there just isn’t a link to get to the page that shows all the stuff you’ve saved, as I noted elsewhere in this thread.
This seems like it would be very useful, I’m going to bookmark this.
Side note: Could a feature be added to allow people to favorite articles for easy access?

Ah, thanks.
Your browser contains such functionality; no need to duplicate it.
