   Hello. Exactly, boosted posts are now "your content" in some twisted way, and subject to the user post maximum counter instead of the other one. And, as you say, boosting some parts of the conversation tree to keep the context intact in you public timeline is the proper thing to do, in my opinion.
   
   I agree that these boosted posts are there for a different reason, though, and marking them as such is an interesting consideration. I'll think about it.

     @grunfink@comam.es: I've not reached the #snac server age to determine this experimentally, but I imagine other peoples' posts which are shown on our public timelines due to us replying to them are subject to the default "maximum days to keep posts" cleanup, but ones we boost are only subject to the user-posts version of that number? With the way conversations are displayed I've found myself gravitating toward boosting other posts in the conversation to keep the context/threading intact into the future (which, now that I'm using software that makes me ask that question, I do consider a perfectly valid reason to boost for anyway).
     
     That is, however, distinct from boosting a post because I agree with it/want to share it on its own merits. A low-priority suggestion would be to reveal the like status of posts which are on the timeline anyway for other reasons, whether as an icon on the right akin to the pin/bookmark, or as text on the left as with the "boosted".
