@jaz@toot.wales @bitprophet@social.coop I guess I had a slightly inaccurate understanding. I would have thought that my follower count would be an upper bound on the number of copies? if I have 1 follower and they’re on the same instance as me, does it still get copied 40k times?

@glyph@mastodon.social @bitprophet@social.coop no, it is copied from 1 to 40,000+ times depending on your social graph. It is sent to your followers or the servers where your followers live then to the followers of people who boost your post, plus servers that use relays to bring in content, hashtag services (if you add a hashtag) that subscribe to posts with certain hashtags. If you used followers-only, then the upper limit is indeed your follower count, the above is for public posts.
