Same as post or posting as a message or a commentary posted on an internet forum. Poast instead of post follows the same pattern of transcribing "ou" diphthong as "oa" as in moar instead of more.
First Poast! (First commentary to the original post)

(verb) A blend of the words "post" and "poach". It is used in the context of securely releasing content to followers on a distributed network. This practice serves as a countermeasure against "internet poaching", the unauthorized removal of online content. Similar to "seeding", but specifically targeted towards persistent identities.
Usage:
Person 1: Dude, did you see the Broncos game last night? I found it on YouTube, but it vanished before I could even watch it.
Person 2: Yeah man, I was on Trill, that new social media app. Followed this guy "urbit-sportsjunky" who dropped a link.
Person 1: A link? Like I said, that stuff gets taken down instantly.
Person 2: Usually, yeah. But this guy, he poasted it. Followers got his message directly. All encrypted.
Person 1: So a dead link? You can't watch it if it's yanked from YouTube or Twitch, right?
Person 2: Nah, it's all different here. Once you're a follower, you're authenticated. You can download a copy directly from his computer to yours.
Person 1: No way, straight up peer-to-peer video?
Person 2: Yep. All you need is the bandwidth, dude.

In the realm of interwebs, there are posts and there are poasts. A post can only become a poast once it has reached the relative hotness of toast. In other words, if it is popular.
Yeah! That's a really great poast!

The act of posting on a message board in an obnoxious and pointless manner using terms such as "lulz", "n00b" or "fagz". Used as a form of humor.
posting spamming post spam
Jesus, this thread is 10 pages of nothing but poasting by Darkstar and Begs. Say something of importance for once.
