Comment on Mastodon is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media — in a Good Way

One thing I want from Mastodon is to see the likes of people because I like to follow artists and see what they’re liking lol – but that might go against the intended usage, not sure.

That’s what boosts are for. You can see what others boost on their profile as a sort of repost. The like, is not a like, it’s there for feature parity with Xitter. But every app and instance calls it something different, but generally it’s a favorite button. So you have, boost, favorite, and bookmark. Boost are intended to bee seen by others, favorites are for the original poster, and bookmarks are private for yourself.
