Now that I have learnt that boosting from other servers are not show in the local timeline, and proper quotation is also disabled indulge me to enhance discoverability by recommending locals some artist's accounts to follow from other servers in no particular order or style:

Indeed.
But apparently the boosting help to discoverability is very limited, sadly.
Which is sad.
I have been boosting my posts from my social account to try to bypass the .art mute, just to learn that it has been for nothing XD
@Ailantd - No, not for nothing. We, your followers, saw them.
Nobody follows my second account there. I was doing it thinking that boosts were show up in the social local timeline, which is not the case.
I'm sure there's been a lot of thought about that, but In general I think that behaviour hinders discoverability and isolates locals timelines a bit too much.
@Ailantd - I think the current policies are chosen for minimizing strain on small instances. Those policies might change with future hardware performance.
Personally I think of accounts as persona. This account is my private one. The other account is more or less my mastodon equivalent to a gmail junk collector. ...except for one thing. The love of my life refuses to switch to my smaller private account.
@Ailantd - Mastodon.social is a special case in my opinion. It's like a testbed with the devs sitting in the sand of it. It is both a real instance and not. Keeping it separate is both good and bad. That is one of the parameters to experiment with. One that is missing on other social media.
@Ailantd - You forget your own importance. You allow us followers to bridge that policy decision. I discovered @thisnorthernboy through your postings.
I could do the same work you are doing if I wasn't an introvert monster. 😉
