A reminder that on Mastodon you are the algorithm. If you’re seeing content you don’t want, block or filter it out. Boost things you want more of. You control what you see. It’s better than trying to control others. Focus on curating the kind of feed you’re interested in.

If you don’t want to see politics, unfollow people who post or boost a lot about politics.

The #birdsite is very passive in terms of what it demands from you. Mastodon isn’t. It’s a mind shift but it’s a good one to make.

@VickiKyriakakis Unfortunately it doesn’t work very well. For example, I follow @msnbc and I like and boost a lot of their posts. But new posts from them rarely show up in my feed. I see the same old jokes over and over though.

If there's an account whose posts you don't want to miss you can always turn on notifications for them.
