What is the difference between boost and an upvote?
@1chemistdown @AnotherPerson Boost is like a retweet on Twitter it shares to your own followers on your instance and upvote is like Reddit. You like there post comment/reply
How to share the posts to my mastodon profile? I donβt have any followers here, so I donβt think boost would do any good.
@kosmicpulse @AnotherPerson @1chemistdown I don't think you can. I think you can only share within an instance to somebody on that instance. I actually haven't tried. instance to instance but you can't do instance to another server. The only way is to get the url of the article/message grab the url and put it in a browser for somebody else and it will take them to what you where doing. I'm not really sure but I think thats kinda how it works
