Find Private Messages
Go to the home page, and at the top of if you click on Forums there is a drop down, and you can find Private Messages there.

On my laptop (Firefox browser), private discussions can be found along the top, three options to the left of the "start a discussion" button:
On my phone (thankfully, I found it!) there are two triangles to the right of where it says "forums" at the very top, and that's where private discussions shows up.
Here’s where it is on my phone:
You gotta love how easy it is to post photos!!! That allow makes the move here worth it!

Dismissing A Single Notification
On mobile (Android), a quick but firm tap on the very right side of the notification will clear it without taking you to the post.
It sounds like on iOS, a quick tap on the right will show a check box, which if tapped again will clear the notification.
If anyone has other solutions or experiences on different interfaces, let me know and I'll update this post.
twocats — sorry for the delayed reply. On both my phone and iPad, @navindra ’s instructions work (quickly tapping on the right and then immediately tapping the check mark). I think when I initially tried this, I wasn’t understanding the instruction and was doing something wrong, but as I’ve used it more, I’ve figured it out. It’s not very intuitive, but at some point I caught on!
Moving Your Thread to a Different Category
If you're the owner of a thread (you were the person who started it) and decided later that you posted in the wrong category, you don't need to bother the moderators to move it!
Simply click on the three vertical dots in the top right corner (at least on mobile) and click "Edit Tags". Then remove the current tag and select the new one, and the post will appear in the new subforum.
Find Your Threads
Looking for the threads that you started? Go to Profile and then (on mobile) click the top and a menu will appear, along with other options:
Recover Drafts
First make sure that "Draft Autosave" is enabled from Profile -> Settings.
If you're in the middle of writing something and then click away and your draft is gone (so frustrating, right??), you can find it in the Drafts area by going to the Homepage and clicking at the top left (on mobile). A list of all your unfinished posts will be there!

Gombessa twocats Noted. Will keep an eye out for this one. I have some guesses on what might be going on... I can try to repro and report it back.
Also this prompted me to take a quick backup.

Josephine It goes back to the previous page you were on when you refresh the page? How are you refreshing the page?
I think Flarum tries to refresh content dynamically and there are ways of making that work better that are more expensive in terms of server resources. I suspect FreeFlarum has made some optimizations to lessen the load that may be causing some of these bugs.
It's just speculation on my part though. There are some other avenues to investigate.

When I go to the home page (on my phone) there is often an arrow in the left top corner, and when I want to log out I first have to refresh the page to make those 3 lines appear. So I refresh the page by clicking the icon for refreshing a page in my browser (Firefox). And often it works, but sometimes I go back to the previous page instead.
Josephine Oh interesting. This sounds familiar, I think it may have been previously reported. Will try it on my phone and see what's going on.

Maybe it's Firefox, and not this forum? I also have some problems with other websites when I use Firefox.
