#mastodonvocabulary — Public Fediverse posts

@breadandcircuses Thanks! So a “boost” is what mastodon identifies as being “reblogged”? (In my post I listed “reboot” when I meant “reblog”)

Ps—I agree it’s gratifying to know a stranger thinks something you toot is worth sharing with others—makes one feel like a savant. I will admit if I miss just one tiny feature of #birdsite its the ability to “quote tweet” where I can add a profundity of my own. 😹

May I know what does “boost” mean/entail on mastodon—so I may add it to my mastodon vocabulary list? Is it a good or bad thing?

So far I’ve learned “fediverse,” “instance,” “toot,” “reboot,” and “favorite.” Are there any other terms I should learn about?

You can also include an extract from the original post. The whole thing is shared by default.

From @micheleann: "One of my key use cases that doesn't seem to be supported by #MastodonVocabulary is boosting a post *with added commentary*. Like, where's my value add? I want to provide more context or my own thoughts as I send it along..." https://eldritch.cafe/@micheleann/109337505345766068

One of my key use cases that doesn't seem to be supported by #MastodonVocabulary is boosting a post *with added commentary*. Like, where's my value add? I want to provide more context or my own thoughts as I send it along...

The work around is boosting and then finding the boosted post and commenting but I also have a hard time finding it? #MaybeItsJustMe #mastodonfeatures

I wonder if this, from "App settings" (the gears icon, next to Logout) is relevant to my earlier question. I can't really decipher the terminology.

But I think it means that what we've been calling replies are officially secondary toots?
