Remember folks, just liking a post doesn’t help out with getting the message out. You need to “boost” the post as well. Make sure you “Favourite” and “Boost” a post you like. It will help all of us get re-connected here on Mastodon.

How do I boost?
Show threadTina Nov 19, 2022
@DonnaSalmans Touch the little arrows that are in the shape of a rectangle next to the star.

@Porpentina2017 @DonnaSalmans

The arrow in the box...and then what? Do I need to select one of the options? I don't see anything like "boost"

That's weird it worked for me earlier. Now I just see the share with other apps page.

@DonnaSalmans @Porpentina2017 that's what I see too

@micheline @DonnaSalmans @Porpentina2017 left of the star is like retweet.
Show threadBubsNov 21, 2022
@micheline @Porpentina2017 @DonnaSalmans it’s just basically retweeting without quoting. There’s no quote toots option here because the developers believe that’s a toxic way to interact

@Porpentina2017 How do you favourite and boost? I'm on the iPhone app and all I have is a star #favourite #boost
Show threadBubsNov 21, 2022
@TrogL @Porpentina2017 star= favourite
Arrows = boost 😊

@Porpentina2017 Thank you - so “boost” requires using the symbol that resembles the “retweet” symbol? Just want to confirm.
Show threadTina Nov 19, 2022
@AthenaSx6 Precisely! Just liking a post doesn’t do anything for its viewership.

@Porpentina2017 basically, "boost" is like Rt? #Newcomer

@zrnopameti @Porpentina2017 was just wondering what boosts is. Thanks!
Show threadScience Duchess 🧬🔭💉🦠🧪👠🦩Nov 21, 2022
@budhnanda @Porpentina2017 yes, we were confused, because "boost" usually means "adds", paid promotion on FB...still learning new dictionary

@tizzywoman

Boosting also grows viewership/the federated timeline! the federated timeline shows people/posts that have been followed/boosted by people on your own instance, a second layer of reach. More following and more boosting is a bigger second layer!

@Porpentina2017 what about replies? Does that make a difference in the visibility of a post/thread?
