I will use my pretty severe covid brain damage as an excuse for not thinking of this years ago, but someone else's post just made me realize -- my incessant boosting is probably terrible for the zeroes timeline?
Is there something I can do about that, other than boosting everything I think is cool?
Also, unrelated but sort of related: Is there any way to limit a post to the local timeline? Feature request?
@NilaJones boosts don't actually show up on the zeroes 'This Server' timeline, so the only folks who see them are those who follow you. It's also possible for folks to turn off boosts on a per-account basis, so I don't see any objective reason why it would impact zeroes.ca negatively -- boost to your heart's content 👌
Local-only posts is indeed something a lot of folks have requested of Mastodon for years. The two most well-known forks of Mastodon (glitch and hometown) and many of the alternative fediverse microblogging servers all have it. I'd really like to migrate zeroes to glitch at some point, but it's still up in the air.
Yeah I know about turning off boosts for individual followers. I was just worried that oh my goodness maybe the timeline is 50% me and I don't even know it 🤣
