I see some well meaning advice for people used to Twitter that 'here' you need to 'boost' instead of 'like' because there's no algorithm to have these likes translate into views.

Firstly, there's only an algorithm on Twitter if you wanted that. You could just as easily use Twitter with the algorithm disabled, so that's not the differentiating factor. If you chose to run Twitter with the algorithm enabled, this place is likely not going to work for you.

Secondly, you're still thinking about trying to maximise views and chasing clout. That you appreciate a post is between you and its author, no further audience is needed. Just reblog what you want your followers to see because it fits the aesthetic of your page, just send a like for other posts you appreciate so the author knows.
