Hey new people! 👋

You can do likes by clicking the ⭐ favourite button. Favouriting lets the author know you liked their post.

You can do re-tweets by clicking the 🔁 boost button (AKA "re-blog" on some apps). Some apps use a 🚀 symbol instead of the arrows. Boosting shares a post with your followers.

To view a post later, click the 🔖 bookmark button. No one else sees your bookmarks.

@FediTips is there a way to mute certain hashtags?

Where is the boost button (either of the ones you mention)? Is it specific to certain apps or instances only?

All apps have the boost button below all posts. It looks like either arrows 🔁 or a rocket 🚀 depending on which app you're using.

In some cases the boost button may be greyed out if the post's visibility setting prevents it being shared with your followers.

@FediTips I think I see what happened – 're-tweet' and 're-blog' got interpreted as 'quote-tweet' esp. as I'd seen references to Quote toots recently. Sorry about that. I know about the boost button, alas. Thank you though 🙂
