I've seen a boost of 25k on another post. What is it and how does it work please?

You need to pay 25k sats and it pushes it to the top for a while

ah ok thx. I'm guessing I'm not seeing that option/function anywhere because I don't have 25k sats to be able to do it. So can you boost your own posts or can you only boost other people's?
