There is something oddly heartwarming when someone with zero followers boosts one of your posts. It's like a child finding something they think is cool and proudly showing it off to their stuffed animals.
@lowqualityfacts I resemble that comment

@rorzer @lowqualityfacts

Ah go on with ya!

Just post a bit more and get more involved. 😀

I'm nobody but I keep being nice to people and encouraging them to do their best and I'm more than happy to share that shtick. 😀

@lowqualityfacts Boosts are shown to your instance, too

On a small instance boosting can attract followers

@lowqualityfacts

My nesoberi and plushies have an account and I follow it. They post at least daily.

And they sometimes even boost my posts.

@lowqualityfacts

Oh. Sort of bird site snobbery spreading..

@lowqualityfacts I don’t post much original content. I boost so when people bump into my profile, they can get a glimmer of what I like, care about, or believe in. Also, it gets it seen on my instance. Which, I believe, is how I found you, not from a mega account.
