Since I used the term again, let me provide a definition to pin:
Vitality Coefficient
Characteristics of social media, describing, if it actively amplifies or dampens the reach of posts.
Social networks like Twitter, with an algorithmic timeline tend to amplify viral posts, by
a) making sure your followers don't miss them
b) even showing them, despite you don't follow its author, nor any retweeter.
c) raising posts as context for replys
Mastodon doesn't do that.
