@meganmariehart@mastodon.social dont boosts also go against the 'i want to test the default reach of posts?'
boosting a post means it will show up in someones timeline, where it wouldnt have shown up in if not boosted

@44@defcon.social Yes, in a way they would kinda defeat the purpose if I wanted the natural reach of a post, but how would I measure that? 😅 Besides, I wanted to find out how well a post with some interesting content would do, in order to persuade people (or theaters) to join the Fediverse. Asking for it to be boosted or quoted seemed like a way to simulate an interesting post. Worked.
