   Anybody know what the ‘phantom boost’ situation is on Mastodon? I’m seeing phantom boosts showing up for any/most posts federated from specific servers — a 1 to the boost counter with no actual boosts listed, and those boosts are not visible on the originating server. Is this a quirk of federation, or some Mastodon fork interop thing or something?

     @stroughtonsmith People can set boosts to followers-only. Then you can't see them.

     @Gargron that's not what's happening here — this is showing for every post for people who don’t do it intentionally
