Also worth reminding (in addition to below tips): The only way a post can propagate on the fediverse is via social means, i.e. via boosting it... Likes are more or less a nod to the author that the message was appreciated, but has ZERO impact on other people learning about it. If we want to encourage more good/quality posts on here, share them, boost them! This is especially important for posts/content from smaller instances (or single user ones, like mine) where there's no one else on the local timeline. Boosting content from these small instances is literally the only way to reach _any_ people outside their direct followers...

(This is not a complaint, just pure observation, boosting rates (percentages) of my posts have severely dropped over here over the past 4-5 months. Of course, I'm assuming it's first and foremost a me problem, but I'm not sure if that's all there is to it...)
