Post #2737099

@evan in the Mastodon sphere, boosting a post has these side effects: - servers that receive the boost will now be aware that the boosted post exists. if it contains hashtags, then that post might show up in hashtag timelines/searches and the home timelines of anyone following that hashtag. - servers will also be aware that the author of the boosted post exists. their profile can appear in search results based on their account's name/summary. -- (in the future, their outbox might be backfilled)
