One thing I haven't figured out in 3.5 years is how/when to use the favourite button here. Very often I see toots where I would press it, but they have e.g. 20 replies or boosts and 0 favourites. I don't usually boost a lot, but would press favourite on it, but if it has 0 favourites, that would probably look weird, so... How exactly is it even supposed to be used? Am I missing something?

@alexm I conceive of it as sort of like an appreciative nod

@clayote mm, but then the question is why don't other people use it. Or there is more to it after all.

@alexm @clayote favourites don't federate; the numbers aren't accurate unless you're looking at the original post on the original instance (i would just ignore them and fav if you like)
