Boosts in timeline do not allow to go to profile of whoever boosted #408

If somebody boosts something into my timeline I want to be able to tap on the name in "foobar boosted" to be able to view their profile.

This is mainly important to me because some people I recently followed spam boosts a lot and I want to be able to take action on the.

I found this a bit irritating. In the web app, clicking the xyz in "xyz boosted" will bring you to their profile.

In the notifications tab of the app, when someone boosted your own post, clicking their profile picture will get you to their profile. However, clicking on the name (or any other part of the "xyz boosted your post" message) will bring you to the initial post.

It would be great if this could somehow be made more consistent in the app. My suggestion:

  1. Timeline: when you click on the name in the "xyz boosted" message, it will bring you to their profile.
  2. Notifications: when you click on the profile picture or the name in the "xyz boosted your post" message, it will bring you to their profile. The rest of the notication will bring you to the initial post (or not do anything at all? the post is there already anyway). Similar for the "xyz liked your post" notification.
