@gamingonlinux Yes. Here's the algorithm:

- @lisamelton boosts your post

... that's it. That's the whole algorithm ๐Ÿ˜‰

@gamingonlinux Make a Linux joke or complain about a data stealing company or service (ie. Microsoft, Google, or Discord). That always seems to work.

@gamingonlinux holy shit, old school Facebook from a decade+ ago is that you, Iโ€™d recognize that engagement bait anywhere

@gamingonlinux maybe the real social media clout was the friends we made along the way

@gamingonlinux demographically, 'Doners seem well vaccinated, although the right sh*tp*st might spread like cholera

If you desire fame and fortune Mastodon is designed to defeat it fellow citizen Liam@GamingOnLinux

Unless, after a long time, you deserve it.

"There is a common human myth where those who stand for kindness and compassion and truth are quickly rewarded with vindication and victory.

But history records the opposite.

They are usually rewarded with banishment, suffering, and death.

With only an ever growing humanity their posthumous statue."

@gamingonlinux Mastodon is generally build in a fashion that favors individuals and conversations over public figures, I will boost because its you tho! ;)

@gamingonlinux youโ€™re going to need a picture of a cat to achieve this.

lofi beast to relax/study to

@gamingonlinux not playing your SEO shell game. Boosting my own toot instead,

@gamingonlinux
Not only is it possible, I personally have gotten 7 boosts and 14 favorites on a single post!

@gamingonlinux I would say it is, I had a toot some time ago (I think it was about an influx fail), that was quite public.
There have been several toots, which had more success than the same tweet on that other platform.

Doug Elkin

@gamingonlinux I had one go a little wild a couple months ago. 600+ boosts and 900+ stars. I've definitely seen others with way more boosts, but nothing else close to the boost/star ratio on that one. It was just a low-effort dunk on the Chrome browser.

@gamingonlinux
I had this post go 2.3K boosts and 3.3K โญ ... so a little bit, yes.

 My post about Dolly Parton books ...
"Dolly Parton has put over 200,000,000 FREE BOOKS in the hands of children in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Ireland.
200 MILLION BOOKS!
She didn't build a penis space rocket or dive in sub to see the Preview (16:9) titanic. She invested her money in the next generations to come
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library ... that's a beautiful thing.
