Mastodon tips:
-Don't boost every post you agree with within a conversation; it will turn up in the timeline of all your followers, but they won't have context. It's better to favorite these posts.
-If someone posts a thread, only boost the first post of that thread. If people are interested, they will go to that thread to read it. If they are not interested, they don't have to read through all of the posts in their timeline.
I'm using the Favorite star as a like button 👍
, because sometimes you just want to let someone know you like something, without wanting to share it. Or you want to let them know you read what they wrote.
