Do you follow someone, and you enjoy their posts but they boost too much stuff?

You can mute just their boosts if you want:

1. Open your Mastodon app or log in through your server’s website
2. Go to the profile of the person whose boosts you want to hide
3. Click on the ︙or ⋯ button at the top and select Hide Boosts From... (or Hide Reblogs on some apps)
4. If you change your mind, go back to their profile and select Show Boosts From… (or Show Reblogs)

@feditips 0 or 1? How about reducing frequency, without eliminating? :)

I should give this info to my pained followers. I’m a shameless booster.

@feditips nice. Just learned you can join as many instances as you like. What's the best way to manage multiple accounts on a SP?

Why should users have to work around what is obviously a bug of the system?

@feditips if only there was a client that had a more user centric view of the posts we see. Then it could separate a person's boosts vs their own posts and I could prioritize reading the later.

@feditips great, I just unfollowed some recently but I'll follow them again and will mute their boosts.

So sad I didn't know that before🤦‍♀️

@feditips The problem with boosting is that it's out of context. No one else can understand it, let alone join in on the conversation. But

@feditips
Is there a way to only see a percentage of a person's posts? Some ppl just post waaay to much fluff - I have to use the timed mute functionality.

@feditips

a couple of times I would have liked to filter the other way around: get only the boosts, which were great, but not the original posts 😉 But I guess there’s no way to do that?

@feditips The weird thing I want to do is, I want to mute my OWN boosts from my feed. Wonder if that is possible...

Heh, I boost a lot. Thing is, a lot of what I would want to say has already been said, so....
