Anyone up for a little light #CodeReview? Glitch has an option to show boosts in the local TL, which I think is lovely for small instances like ours, it really helps new ppl get oriented in the fedi. The problem is public feeds dont filter duplicate boosts in the same way that home feeds do, so you end up seeing the same boost lots of time.

I wrote a patch to only show the most recent boost in public TLs, but since I am a relative noob with postgres, SQL, and rails, and since it touches core feed functionality id love it if someone took a look before we deploy on our instance (after some field testing we'll pull upstream). I tried to make it as contained as I could so other masto forks could merge it in too, if ya interested.
