If you see something you like on here, don't be scared to give it a favourite ⭐ !

If you really like something, you might want to also boost it
🔁🔁 (which shares it with your followers).

There is no algorithm on here, so you can like and share whatever you want without any additional side effects.

Your timeline on here is entirely in your direct control, it isn't going to push stuff at you or hide stuff just because you liked or shared something.

I've been curious about the difference between favorite and boost. Is it that people can see my boosts, but my favorites are more for me (like a bookmark)?

Favourites tell the person who made the post that you liked it.

Boosts share the post with your followers. When you boost a post, it appears in the timelines of your followers.

You will see posts in your own timeline that have been boosted by the people you follow (though you can switch this off if you want to).
