Is there an account you already follow and you want to follow it more closely? Do you want to make sure you don't miss their posts?

You can do this on Mastodon's web interface by going to the account's profile page and clicking on the notification bell icon 🔔. When you have notifications switched on, you'll be notified every time the account posts.

You can also do this on Mastodon apps, but they may have different interfaces, such as a "Notify" button.

@feditips I still don’t know that means. Don’t really care because this place is nice even though I have no idea what I’m doing…

@feditips also throw “.rss” on the end of the phone profile’s URL to follow that account’s public posts in your favourite feed reader 😁

@feditips but I hate notifications more than missing people's posts...

@feditips Well, that used to be Aunt Crabby, god rest her recalcitrant soul. I followed her here from the bird site.

@feditips Thanks for the tip! Definitely a number of folks I’d love to keep track of. Appreciate it :arms_in_the_air_r1:

@feditips I click the notification bell routinely when I start following a new account. That gives me an idea of whether I want to follow them closely or not so closely or not at all.

@feditips I've got a bit of the opposite problem...

Is there a way to stop **every single post in a thread** from showing up in my timeline?

I want the top level post to show up, I just don't need to see the entire thread in my main timeline!

Specifically:
Someone I follow posts a cool thread.

Then I refresh my feed, and the very last post of the thread is at the top.

As I scroll down, I see Every. Single. Child. Post. In. That. Thread.

Can I just see the top level post **only?**
