From memory, a useful post I read last year...
#Likes are for the *poster* to let them know you saw/liked their post.
#Boosts make the post appear in your timeline so that your *followers* can see it.
#Bookmarks are a sort of "to do" list just for *you*.
#Lists are for grouping...
Also you can follow #hashtags, which I find useful!

…weshalb rechte Fakes auf TikTok erfolgreich sind:
«Tiktok versagt gegen Schatten-AfD – #Fake-Profile sammeln Millionen #Likes, die Partei profitiert:
Auf Tiktok wütet ein #Netzwerk, das nach den Plattform-Richtlinien eigentlich verboten ist: @correctiv_org fand dutzende Kanäle, die sich fälschlich als #Partei- oder #Politik'er-Profile der #NoAfD ausgeben. Im Namen der Partei erreichen sie Hunderttausende. Die #AfD schweigt und #Tiktok sieht jahrelang tatenlos zu.»

One great use for this is tuning your #filtered words.
If you #filter a lot of words (and you should) then you may be worried that you're #filtering out posts you would have liked to see.
Just click "filtered" and then sort by "#likes" or "#boosts" and it will show you posts you can't see that other people seem to like. This can help you decide whether to unmute some words or not.
PinkHatHacker You know how folks will tell you that you should still use likes/favorites, even if they're are private, to let people know when you enjoy their posts?
A random thing I realized that I haven't really seen pointed out before, this can also be useful for people who use the number of likes/favorites to determine which posts should be automatically deleted.
#Musk thinks #likes should be hidden: one more stone on #Twitter's tomb.
"In addition to making it more difficult to keep tabs on the powerful, McLaughlin says hiding likes also makes it harder to detect instances of manipulation or artificial engagement by bots without the ability to see which accounts have liked a post. "

CBCWhat X's move to hide our likes means for accountability | CBC NewsX will now hide who likes a post, in a move the company said would boost privacy. Experts say it could also limit the public's insight into the minds of the powerful and prevent them from being held accountable when what they like online contradicts their public stances.
Finding the post with the most likes or shares on decentralized social media is not an easy task, but makes for a fun Fediverse Exploration.

Do people ever like or 
stuff on Mastodon? From what I see there's only replies and reposts. Is it a bug that every post other have are zero likes or have the non algorithmic approach on #Mastodon actually nullified the use case for likes?

I agree with your approach: a Like is an appreciation, sent to the author, whereas a Boost is an elevation, sent to my followers.
An added dimension is the "cost" to others. A Like is cost-free: my followers don't see it, and the author won't lose anything through it. Whereas a Boost takes up space in my followers' timelines, and that space is scarce. Boosting is a valuable gift, but it imposes on others and we must give it sparingly.
#Online ‘#likes’ for #toxic #socialmedia #posts prompt more − and more #hateful − #messages.
The #rampant increase of #hate #messages on #socialmedia is a #scourge in today’s #technology-infused #society. #Racism, #homophobia, #Transphobia, #Xenophobia and even #personalattacks on those disagreeing with others’ #political #opinion reveal the ugly side of #humanity's online behavior.

The ConversationOnline 'likes' for toxic social media posts prompt more − and more hateful − messagesHate is for the haters. Much of the thrill of posting toxic messages can come from the attention and social approval a poster gets from like-minded people.
Lässt Du Dich über #Aktivitäten zu Deinen Beiträgen wie #Boosts, #Likes und #Erwähnungen etc., und/oder über die Beiträge bestimmter Personen, via Push-Benachrichtigung informieren?
(Boost für mehr Reichweite = mehr Beteiligung = höhere Aussagekraft)
Implemented liking/favoriting of #Mastodon posts via Bridgy Fed on my site! (Actually of any post on any site that #BridgyFed can discover an #ActivityPub endpoint to send likes to.)
Tested it by liking @evanp.me (@evan@cosocial.ca @evanpro)’s reply¹ confirming that he received a notification from my prior post². I sent a #Webmention from my like post³ to Bridgy Fed, and it #federated the like to Evan’s server, which subsequently showed up in the "favourites" list of Evan’s post:

Every step that connects heterogenous #socialWeb systems & protocols feels like progress.

Mastodon hosted on indieweb.social Indieweb.Social INDIEWEB.SOCIAL is an instance focused on the evolution of #Openweb, #Indieweb, #Fediverse, #Mastodon, #Humanetech and #Calm technologies.
Auch wenn #Mastodon keine algorithmische #Timeline hat, gibt es gute Möglichkeiten, die interessantesten/beliebtesten/besten(?) Beiträge darin leicht zu finden:
https://news.feedseer.com/ von @decius benutze ich schon eine Weile, damit sieht man zusätzlich die Posts mit den meisten #Likes (von denen meine Instanz weiß) und beliebte #Hashtags.
https://murmel.social/home von @murmel_social ist #NeuHier kann man die Ergebnisse auch per Mail und #RSS abonnieren.
