why do mastodon toots have more boosts then favorites?
My understanding is that favorites are equivalent to twitter likes, and boosts are equivalent to twitter retweets, but on twitter people like way more then they retweet, so why is it different on mastodon?

Favorites are like a nod but not visible beyond the conversation. Boosts make the post available to every one in your timeline. So if you think it’s fun, funny or worth other peoples time you should boost. I usually reserve favoriting for comments on posts I’ve already boosted.
