Does boosting a post do anything. On other platforms boosting posts costs money. Do you just do it for free and then more people can see the posts you boost? Is it kind of like liking a post on facebook? So if you are on Merovingian club you can follow and favourite other posts on Merovingian club but it is not easy to follow and post things on the other parts of the federated network? How does following federated people who are not on local work?
@shortstories Boosting is free and it is basically like re-tweeting onto your timeline.
You can kind of experiment with the following and favoriting other instances. They have different properties, and some individual people will block wntire instances so even if you comment somewhere, they may never see it. And vice-versa.
