Thought I'd post this, as every now and then I'll boost a help wanted, job wanted, introduction post or something similar and get a follow from the poster, and figured I'd explain why.

Don't get me wrong, I love getting more followers, gotta catch them all, no?
Ok, in all seriousness, figured in case some of these critters or some of my followers are wondering why, it's actually simple, it's because the #Fediverse is big. Yes, I know, we all know that, but you might not realize that that means not every server (instance) can see every other server, it's just too big. So, I boost these these posts to help their reach, as my instance might know other instances that the original poster's instance doesn't.

Yep, just getting the word out, something that we should all be helping with.
