Oh hey, another reminder for newbies to #MeDm (or anybody really): if you "favorite" a post it makes the author of the post feel good, but doesn't have any impact on the post's visibility (unlike on that other site). What's important on Mastodon is #BOOSTING!

#Boost liberally-- it increases the visibility of the post you're boosting AND increases the visibility of your entire instance.

(#Favoriting is still good too!)

@jeremy I might add, use boosts but don't over-use them. Because is algorithm-free, if you follow someone who boosts too much, your home feed will be swamped unless you block their boosts.
