@gwensnyder well, IDK but isn't #boosting the same?

@Gary_Host @mastohost @feditips Small instance owner here, no relays added because I tought it would be overkill. I trigger the #federation by following people on others #instances and #boosting posts. It's slow and organic but a month later I really see how far the federation is going and it's truly pleasant (again IMO).

For the visibility part, if what you're posting is intresting and found foot in your followers, it will gain visibility trought the boosts.Hope you find the right place 4 u

Decided to relive the golden days of #instagram (which I stopped using years ago) and go for #Pixelfed to post some #amateur #photos I like sharing.

I am currently torn between #pixey.org and #metapixl.com. Any suggestions? #Boosting could help this #toot reach those with #experience. 🙏

That toot, for example, ought to be boosted.

A reminder on the differences between boosts, favourites and bookmarks:

— Boosting is for sharing. When you see something you like enough to want others to see too, you do so by boosting it.
— Favouriting is for liking, but not for sharing. It lets the poster know you liked what they did.
— Bookmarking is for saving for oneself only. It doesn't let the poster know.

Remember that Mastodon doesn't have algorithms that propagate content based on these actions.

To #boost, or not to #boost, that is the #question. At what point does #boosting become too much?

psa: #boosting is not just retweeting! retweeting affected an algorithmic weighing of posts on a timeline. this is different! you are actively sharing someone's post with your followers, guaranteed. #boost with reckless abandon! get your friends to see other friends' stuff!

Tentatively experimenting with #boosting more. #mastodon

Hello @Rachelburch

I'm so happy to have found you & your beautiful photos here 😊
I fled the toxic hellsite recently and am delighted to be among the #newmastodonians in this better place.

Thanks to @BobHarvey for #boosting #boostingissharing

How often should you boost your own posts?

#netizens #netiquette #poll #survey #fediverse #boost #boosting

Please, stop #boosting and #unboosting the same #toot on #Mastodon every now and then, in order to display it again in every timeline. This is aggressive marketing.

S’il vous plaît, arrêtez de booster puis rebooster le même message sur #Mastodon, dans le but de le faire remonter dans les flux de vos lecteurs. C’est du marketing agressif !

I have come to realise that this #boosting thing is still a bit difficult conceptually when you never grew out of #Usenet...

<span class="mumble">Promise to do it more.</span>

@pitrouillesque I think it's fine to #boost but personally I'd say it shouldn't be ALL that you do. An account that is only #boosting doesn't tell me anything about the person behind the account, which for me PERSONALLY makes me less inclined to follow that account.

There's also the ability at least in the #Mastodon web user interface to turn off seeing boosts from a particular account, so someone who doesn't care about your boosts but want to see what you're posting yourself can still do that.

Quick question about the #fediverse :
Is #boosting a lot bad here? Will people discard my profile as not interesting if I #boost a lot of #toots regarding my interests? It's important to me to #share content but I know doing that too much is sometimes badly seen on some platforms.

@fleg My thesis on the case is as follows:

We would have no problem assuming at the same time that there is value in the derivatory, transformer-produced art. While still recognising that unless dues are paid, the system will not develop into a healthy back & forth between originals and remixers.

I would love there to be something akin to a famous EDM artist remixing an unknown one, #boosting their visibility, also happening (automatically) with #AI art remixes.

It seems to be a recurring phenomenon that #creators, #developers and #maintainers of #OpenSource #FreeSoftware choose #ClosedSource #NonFree, and #proprietary services such as #Discord, #Slack and #Twitter for #CommunityBuilding. But what are the causes and rationales?

Feel free to provide your answers that are not listed in the survey. And #FollowerPower may help #boosting this survey into the broader #Fediverse.

Hi #Fediverse! Hello #Mastodon!

What’s the etiquette on #boosting posts from here on sites like #Twitter?

Is it okay to share a link to the post? Is it frowned upon to do so?

@donmelton I applaud you for your efforts! I have been noticing that, since the beginning of November when I rejoined #Mastodon, I'm now seeing fewer folks #boosting. It's important to remember that, in the absence of an algorithm, boosting is an important means of discovering new users and content.
