Just when I think I have somewhat of an understanding of the fediverse, there becomes more questions. So, I am the moderator for !dadjokes@lemmy.world and I see many “boosted” posts. Does that occur any time there is a comment on that post from Lemmy, or has someone made another account on Mastadon that is using the same photos from the dadjokes Lemmy community?
Posts get boosted when someone compliments it on their shirt. Posts really enjoy it when you compliment it’s shirt. Even if it’s just a regular ol’ flannel shirt. The posts don’t really get compliments much, and so it really BOOSTS them!!!
