Since v2.8.0, boosting your private toots (“boost to original audience”) actually widens their audience if your default posting privacy is not set to “private”! If your default posting privacy is set to “private”, you're safe.

This is fixed in the development version of Mastodon (no release includes the fix yet) and glitch-soc, but it will not retroactively make your previously publicly-boosted-private-toots unreachable, so be careful!

This is because v2.8.0 added the ability to set the visibility of the boost independently to the visibility of the original status (the main use case being to privately boost public statuses), but making the visibility of the boost default to your default toot privacy, thus allowing public boosts of private toots. Public boosts of private toots might make sense if specifically requested, but that's certainly not what was going on, so for now, the fix is to not allow public/unlisted boosts of toots with stricter privacy settings.
