Probably better to post in the github issue rather than replying here.

It's called 'boosting' and I believe mbin kept it as well.

Yeah. It's the repost functionality common on Mastodon.

Back on Kbin.social I would have some followers from Mastodon, and when I saw a neat comment I would sometimes boost it and thereby push it straight to their feeds.

Same thing would work on Mbin, except that i don't have followers. Oh well, I still boost posts I find neat.
