@eniko
Scheduled boosts is where it's at (depending on your client, I suppose)

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@FromTheFourthPlanet yep

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@blogdiva I mean I think I should be able to do it as much as I want. Not sure why you'd limit it

@eniko @blogdiva yeah, there's no reason to limit. At the spec level it's not limited (you can have multiple Announce for the same object from the same actor, and the “shares“ collection on which they get recorded should be able to hold multiples). This is entirely a Mastodon limitation, and I suspect it's mostly due to UI limitations (how do you cancel an announcement if there can be multiples? The boost button ceases to be a toggle.)
