Lemmy community account on mastodon boosts both posts and replies

@lemmy

when i follow a lemmy community on mastodon, the "account" of the community boosts both posts and replies - that is not how it is on lemmy itself, and the replies being boosted lead to a lot of out-of-context on my timeline. why is that so, and is it possible to change it so that it boosts only posts?

Yes it is, it just doesn't look like that in the lemmy front end.

Boosting posts that tag the community is how the community shares content with subscribers to the community
