Friendly reminder: On mastodon/etc, Likes (aka Favorites) aren't what they are on other social networks. Around here:

Boost = "I like this, and think others might like it too!"
Favorite = "I like this, but that's between me and OP"

Without an "algorithm" choosing what to show you, we rely on our neighbors and follows to boost cool stuff.
