I know I #boost too much. It’s because I always think other people might be curious to read all that stuff.

But you can easily turn #boosts off and see only my original posts! It's quite easy to mute only boosts without muting or blocking people: https://fedi.tips/hiding-someones-boosts-in-mastodon-without-blocking-or-muting-them/ And you can undo that at any time.

Hiding someone’s boosts in Mastodon without blocking or muting them | Fedi.Tips – An Unofficial Guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse

An unofficial guide to using Mastodon and the Fediverse

You do you...

However, when you boost all the things and my timeline gets clogged with all the boosts, then you get all the "hide this person's boosts."

#HIdeBoosts #MuteBoosts

Mastodon, I love you but you seriously need to fix the bug that prevents my home feed from loading because someone I follow went a little (a lot) boost happy.

I then have to enable boosts on the home feed to see who the serial booster is, then go and disable the boosts from their profile.

Many of us follow many accounts. This leads to a Home timeline that is very busy, especially if our Follows are heavy boosters.

The interface allows us to hide all boosts from Home, so that we only see original posts by our Follows. It's refreshing. There are no third-party posts and I can focus on the actual comments of my Follows.

@angelsaura444 AND I #boost, but not all the time or folks may #hideboosts. I boost #introductions so the #hashtags of #interests can find their way to the eyes that wait for just those very things.
:) I think finding common interests and being sure to #curate for yourself are the best part here. But it takes #hashtags and #following LOTS of people over time so you find each other. I hope people seeking #SocialJustice continue to flood the #Fediverse and #DoGood 
You can #HideBoosts of that very eager contact you now follow on #Mastodon who boosts unscrupulously by visiting their profile and clicking on their profile settings (three dots icon).

"Also, if you feel someone you follow is #Boosting to much and cluttering your timeline, simply click the three dots (top right) on their home page and tap #HideBoosts. Much nicer than unfollowing."

TIL - thanks.

For the newest of #Newbies

Your #Posts, #Boosts and #Follows power the timeline here. YOU are the algorithm.

#Following is king
#Boosting is queen
#Likes are sweet
#FollowingBack is neighborly
#Hashtags get you noticed

Also, if you feel someone you follow is #Boosting to much and cluttering your timeline, simply click the three dots (top right) on their home page and tap #HideBoosts. Much nicer than unfollowing.

I cannot praise the #hideboosts feature enough! In fact, I think I might turn it on on everybody. Only read original content. Then the space by definition becomes less of an #echochamber.
Worse, who the hell keeps #boosting themselves? #HIDEBOOSTS now!
