I love to call out awesome work in the ecosystem when I see it. If you're interested in alternative communities to those on Reddit, then go check out @brunofin 's new #lemmy client for Android and iOS that he posted about over on https://beehaw.org/c/programming.
Also, am I just missing it or is there no way to simultaneously boost a #fediverse post and add my own text to it on #mastodon?
Ugh, my apologies folks. Clearly still figuring out how to do this Lemmy/Mastodon federation thing.
Hey, what does the boost function do?
@Sophokles I started to answer this and then realized I wasn't really sure of the definition.
According to https://mastodon.help/#UsingMastodon, it's basically just a retweet in Twitter terms. That's what I would have guessed, but good to know for certain.
@Sophokles @brunofin , to answer my own question ... #til boosts without extra comments are a thing for good reasons.
thanks for posting about it :)
