Basically, It would be nice to point out what those platforms are & what are their “Killer Features

For anyone who wants a quick glance at which platform might be suitable

    How does the boosting work? Because I was never a major Twitter user, and on Tumblr, the “retweet”. Option makes things a bit of a disjointed mess because (at least with new Tumblr and the app) it treats each share as a separate post and they aren’t linked properly together. So, say someone responds to a comment you made on the reshare ten reshare ago. You may or may not even be able to access it. You may not even be able to find it.

      Boosting re-sends the original message, with the original message id attached, and both Lemmy and mbin filter filter out duplicates. On Lemmy, upvoting a post boosts it, and on mbin the functions are separate. Boosting works to get the community/magazine group actor to re-send the post to subscribed remote sites, so if the site you’re using subscribed to a community after the original post was made, it could now receive it thanks to the boost.

        So it doesn’t work like it does on Tumblr then. Thank you!
