Currently the web app timelines, a boosted post only shows the timestamp of the original post. This can feel odd when we are told our timelines are always chronological (yay!) but then there's a post from 2 days ago suddenly in the middle of posts from 2 minutes ago.
It feels like the boosted post needs to be "wrapped" by the booster so it is clearer that the reason you are seeing a 2 day old post is because someone boosted it two minutes ago. This is also just a UI tweak so there would be no change of behaviour towards quote posts etc. This just makes it clearer why a boost has appeared seemingly out of time.
Attached is mock-up I threw together in dev tools to show how it could work:
An alternative could just be to add the boost timestamp to the line where it says " boosted " but I think this looks a bit nicer.
Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
