@kevin Is this how the "Group boosts in timelines" setting works? The server remembers timeline positions of posts and does not insert another boost if it was recent enough.
It is controlled by the REBLOG_FALLOFF constant set to 40 which is vastly inadequate for my much busier timeline. I have it patched to 400 which somewhat works (one boost per several hours if the post is really popular).

@lukyan I don't think it's quite the same thing, although it is related. Honestly, my primary use case is people who boost their own posts 8-24 hours after the original post "for people in other timezones." This is just noise for people following them, and in fact the increased noise contributes to the perceived need to resurface the post "for people in other timezones".
