C.<p>A little reminder / tip about how sharing on Mastodon works.</p><p>Remember, there's no algorithm. Nothing is "selected" for you. Everything you see in your timeline is things that you specifically follow - people, hashtags, etc. You see the posts of people you follow, plus things from others that they boost.</p><p>Hitting the "favourite" button doesn't contribute to this at all. It's a silent nod towards the author of the post you favourited - nobody else sees it, and it doesn't affect who sees the post.</p><p>If you liked something - share it! If you hit the "boost" button instead of, or in addition to, the favourite button, then that will share it with people who follow you.</p><p>The fediverse runs on boosts - without them, there would be virtually nothing in your timeline to see.</p><p>So go ahead and boost more stuff! Your followers will thank you.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/favourite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>favourite</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/boost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>boost</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/favorite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>favorite</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/share" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>share</span></a></p>
