   Maybe I'm missing something, but what's the point of boosting AND favoriting the same post on #Mastodon ?

   The way I understand it, a boost is "I likr this and want my followers to see it", and a favorite is "I like this, but my followers probably aten't interested". Which makes doing both seem pointless to me, but I often see the same person doing both in my notifications, so what am I missing?

     @leeloo for me, it's because favorites are in their own column, seperated from the rest of my posts and easier to go back and rummage through.

     @leeloo to share that info with the creator. Also, favorites and boosts are the "Trending" metric for Mastodon instances

     @BeAware
     So why favorite and not bookmark?
