If you see your post being boosted then unboosted, favourited then unfavourited... this could just be me impatiently multi-clicking on the icons, while they fail to respond fast enough to my desires.
@level98 Ooh, it me. The response time seems to vary - earlier today it was perfectly timed so that I would be tapping a second time *just* as the first took effect. If nothing else, Mastodon encourages you to slow down and take a breath 😄
