Well nearly 100 boosts and it's done practically nothing, interesting.

Were you testing because of today's post on itsfoss.org saying "Please don't boost this on Mastodon"?

Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

@rdnielsen yes, and so far from this post being multiple times more popular than the majority of their posts.... there's literally no issue

@gamingonlinux @rdnielsen The "Mastodon effect" is a real thing, but its impact will depend heavily on how a site is set up. I'm surprised a news site would struggle with it.

Discussion on the Mastodon GitHub here: github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i A fix seems to be currently planned for 4.4.0.

@julian @rdnielsen overall, it seems like their site or server is just...poorly done

@gamingonlinux You need to write some click-bait, my man.

You can have these for free..

Number 11 is the best!

@gamingonlinux This is because you are not running your website on a potato

@gamingonlinux this is because of that bit from It's FOSS? I hope you can conclusively show this is FUD.

@gamingonlinux I think who boosts you is more important than how many. A single boost from someone follows by users on thousands of servers is going to do more than 100 boosts from single-digits. That being said, I've done my part twice in case timezones matter too 8-)
