kind of surprised how few likes (stars? favs? minimum viable actions of approval?) toots on here get compared to twitter
i'm seeing lots of posts with dozens of retoots and comments yet barely any stars
is this a bug? cultural thing in this corner? in all of the fediverse?
@Lorewaifu this sounds like a good way to incentivize engagement by making boosting dependant on it, thanks for the explanation
yeah the average fedizen seems to believe that
boost>star>reply
while the obviously better thing is
star>reply>boost
i just ignore and boost little
@delca you can only see the favs from your own instance, not globally
Cuz there's no point to that other than indicating the OP that someone likes their post, there's not algorithm or anything like that
If you want to spread a post you comment something or boost it!!!
