Tucker TeagueIf you enjoy someone's post on #Mastodon go ahead and click the star. If someone tells you that's meaningless because there's no #algorithm, ignore them. Sure, boost the post too if you want others to also see the post, but don't think telling someone you like what they posted is somehow unimportant. In real life I don't tell someone, "good job," or "well said," or "I love that," for the sake of some algorithm, I do it because I'm human and they are too. It's fundamental to being truly social.
Micheline@tuckerteague. I don't have a boost button. Just the star.
@micheline
The second option from the left, with the circulating arrows, is the boost button. Do you have that? It might depend on what app you're using.

@tuckerteague I'm using the standard Mastondon app. I do have a similar button but I thought that was a share button. Is share and boost the same thing?
@micheline Yes, the boost button on Mastodon is the same as the share button on twitter.
