Since on most fediverse instances you don’t automatically upvote your own comment, do you do it manually? What’s considered “proper etiquette”? Because on Reddit your stuff is self-upvoted automatically, while in YT comment sections comments with 1 like sometimes get called out for liking their own comment. Do we have an established standard here yet, and if not what are your thoughts on it?
Agreed. I also boost, as it adds visibility on instances that look at those and not upvotes.
Plus, boosting and upvoting create indexes for me to easily access my content later via my profile (boosts show up under the boosts tab, upvotes show up under favorites).
I also try to upvote and boost a fair number of the comments that reply to my threads as appreciation for the contribution.
