what is it with mastodon software that like 90% of the time when someone says "LB: (stuff)" I can't see the boost they're referring to at all

@Felthry by default, if a toot showed up on your timeline recently (either by your following the person or someone else boosting the same toot) then it doesn't show up again with the new booster

@packbat @Felthry that's why the expert move is, when you're posting a status that starts with "LB: ", you make it a reply to the post you're talking about but remove the mention

OP doesn't get a notification but anyone who wants to see context for your toot can click it to see the whole thread

@monorail @packbat I wish more people did that though because it seriously feels like 90% of the time I just have no context, even if I go to the person's own page an dlook for it
