I believe it originated on Mastodon. It’s the equivalent of a “Retweet” on Twitter. But, kbin has it also, I think the idea was to be used with the Microblogging feature of kbin.
But, honestly, I use it as more of a bookmark on kbin. Whereas on Mastodon I use it as a Retweet.

The rocket button is for boosting.
Is that a Kbin or Mastodon thing? I’m on Lemmy, haven’t heard of it :p
