Dan GoodinA reminder that Mastodon has no algorithm that pushes posts favorited by others. This is a fundamental difference with the way Twitter works. If you like a toot and want others to see it, the best way to do that is to boost. Favoriting a post helps the author know you liked it but doesn't do much more.
Laura Lis Scott@dangoodin @Npars01 Me, I like likes. They tell me my post was appreciated, and here in the fedi where we have actual conversations, those likes matter, they’re like nods and mmm-hmm and calls of support and they are welcome! Of course, if people decide my post is something they want to share with their followers, that’s really nice too.
