For those new to mastodon...

There is no algorithm there. (for better or worse, mostly better)

Boosts are the *only* way that a post will get more visibility.

Bookmarks = I'd like to find this again in the future

Star/favorite = I read this, and it didn't suck.

Boost = more people should see this.

@zebpalmer I have ‘reblog’ and ‘favourite’ as the options. Will try to see where boost and bookmarks are (maybe a limitation of my app?)

@VengefulArzt so... *right* after I posted that, mastodon released an update that renamed "boost" to "reblog" -- you'll see a mix of both though as some server admins have chosen to stick with the old terms

@zebpalmer 👍I have the Mastodon app, but found that not all apps have all features (‘Federated’ feeds from other servers - isn’t on the official app - but is on this new one!

Apparently DMs aren’t the same - will explore that too!
