@AnnieG @Nettlephagus @tuban_muzuru @GhostOnTheHalfShell @lin11c @beandreams @roknrol @Yehuda If your default is Quiet Public, I believe you won’t show up in the timelines of anyone who isn’t already following you. (I found this post because of a reply that piqued my curiosity, for instance.) That would probably explain the lack of replies?

So, yeah, your boosts are probably unlikely to reach an audience beyond your followers who you’re boosting from.
