Bug: unlisted posts cannot be boosted

[Outer7418]

Environment:

• OS: v26.0.1

• IceCubesApp version: v2.0.6

Description

I recently reported an issue where boosting the unlisted posts was not possible in certain cases, but it was possible with the long-press context menu. This issuew as put to resolved with a comment stating that unlisted posts should be also disabled like private posts as mastodon "does not support boosting unlisted posts".

However as I mentioned in my comment after the task was put to closed, this does not seem to be the case and the documentation says that unlisted (or quiet public) posts should be boostable just like public posts. As it says in the documentation:

Quiet Public
Exactly the same as public, but with the following difference:

• Your post will not appear in Mastodon’s live feeds or explore features.
• Your post will not appear in search results, even if your account has opted-in to full text search.

This option was previously known as Unlisted.

So to me it seems to be that the previous solution was not correct in this case.
