   Friendly reminder: On mastodon/etc, Likes (aka Favorites) aren't what they are on other social networks. Around here:

   Boost = "I like this, and think others might like it too!"
   Favorite = "I like this, but that's between me and OP"

   Without an "algorithm" choosing what to show you, we rely on our neighbors and follows to boost cool stuff.
