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?

@Pxtl Practically, the best option would be to boost only posts from the community as that's how it would be shown on the Lemmy feed. Since the posts and replies themselves appear as standard posts and replies on Mastodon as well, only boosted by the Lemmy community account.
