No dude, a broadcast just sends the note out to more relays, it doesn’t “boost” The note to the top of everyone’s chronological feed. A “repost”(boost) not only broadcasts a note to your relays, it also changes the chronological time on the relays putting it at the top of everyone’s feed. Broadcasting is used to get a note saved on more relays and therefore make it more searchable. Renote/repost/boost is used to increase engagement.

sending it out to more relays is literally what “boost” means to me “Boosting the note to the top of everyone’s feed” is not what I have in mind when I say “boost” what I have in mind when I say “boost” is giving the note a boost to be picked up by my relays, you could argue that renotes and broadcasts are both ways of “boosting” and I’d agree 🫡
