PSA: if a user habitually boosts stuff you don't want to see, you can turn off boosts just for them without unfollowing them

view their profile in the regular masto UI and you'll see a "Hide boosts from X" in the hamburger menu

this can make the whole experience a lot less annoying, but it's not well-known!

@technomancy I think that needs a very recent version of masto. My instance doesn't have it for e.g.
Maybe it's a dev or beta version?
@gemlog I'm on 2.3 but I thought I had seen it on 2.2?
@technomancy I'm not hosting, just a user at this point. Where can I read the version as a user?
@technomancy That's great! I'd love an option to just put all boosts into a separate pane. That way I could view original content first, then if I've got more time, go read boosts as a sort of "You may also like..."
@technomancy oh very cool thanks a lot
@technomancy Oh, wow, this will be really helpful.
@technomancy Wow thanks this is real good to know actually!
