Jess👾Mastodon pro tip - there's no algorithm, and people all across time zones here. Don't be too shy about self boosting your banger toots 12 hours later or something so the other side of the world gets a chance too.
ZenHeathen 🇨🇦@JessTheUnstill But... Since there's no algorithm making choices for you, everyone who follows you will see it the first time. I don't understand the need.
@ZenHeathen When you follow lots of people like I do, I rarely ever hit the bottom of the timeline
@JessTheUnstill I always do, and see self-re-boosted toots sometimes three or four times. There's no option or filter that can help with that.
But I hear you, that it works for your experience.
@ZenHeathen Yeah at that point your options are either hide Boosts from that person or mute them
@JessTheUnstill Neither of which I want to do. I'll just live with it, it's not that big.

> "re-boosted toots sometimes three or four times".
WebApp has a settings that can help:
Menu "Settings" -> submenu "Other" -> in the top "Settings" section of that page, there is a checkbox:
"Group boosts in timelines [Recommended].
Do not show new boosts for posts that have been recently boosted (only affects newly-received boosts)"
This makes the boosts only appear the first time in the timeline, not other remaining 2 or 3 times.
@dryak I'll check for that, thanks. @JessTheUnstill
little hot mess@ZenHeathen @JessTheUnstill yeah, I really wish I could turn off self-boosts specifically
