Small question (r.nf)

Hi, Just a question about this community. I also followed it on a Mastodon account of mine (before I knew about Lemmy) and I wonder if it's intentional that it boosts random replies that seemingly have no preceding message attached when opened in Mastodon? As of now only this community seems to do that, but I'm not sure if any of my other follows is Lemmy so it might be some kind of default Lemmy behavior because this could be the only actual Lemmy-community I accidentally followed. In case of the latter, my apologees for the misdirected question.

Anyway, I might just unfollow the community on my Mastodon as Lemmy is not (yet?) very readable from a Mastodon account anyway, but it still left me wondering...

This post may be removed if not wanted here as it is not a meme (and might just turn out to be a question for Lemmy techs instead of this community, feel free to direct me as necessary), but should anyone here be able to provide me some insight first, it would be greatly appreciated. ๐Ÿ™‚

Yeah, it's weird,...

Only thing I can think up is it maybe using something Mastodon translates as boosts to federate comments faster, but that's just me guessing...

Anyway, I unfollowed this community in my Mastodon. I follow it on Lemmy anyway...
