Friendly reminder that on Mastodon likes do not surface posts to more users. Only boosts do that. We need to boost more on Mastodon than we retweeted on Twitter in order to share content in the community.
@simonbs I wish there was a way to make your likes public tho (on a separate page in profile, like twitter is for you if you use the recent timeline instead of the algorithm one: you can see one person’s likes, but only if you want (but optional as a privacy setting)).
Like, likes are different from boosts. Sometimes I like something but don’t want to throw it in everyone’s timelines or for it to appear together with my toots you know?
