When "show boosts on public timelines" is enabled, only show the most recent boost of the same post

Pitch

Don't show duplicate post boosts on public timelines

Motivation

Seeing the same post boosted multiple times is too noisy for public timelines

[neatchee]

Two options and I can't decide which I prefer:

• Collapse all boosts into the most recent entry; could add an "also boosted by" tag or similar with pfps
• Ignore all boosts after the first; least spammy and most like original timeline behavior (one message per post) instead of a notification (brought to the top each time its boosted)

I think we should ignore all boosts after the first for now, and we can collapse boosts later if we want to (which I think would be much more user-friendly)

I'll work on this later, we don't use "show boosts on public timelines" ourselves, maybe better to work on something a bit more impactful for now :)

Well, yes and no. I want to enable this on our instance but it's too noisy. We had it enabled for a bit after the split feature was implemented but I got a couple complaints about it showing the same posts over and over again lol
