Is there a way to see only what someone has posted in their profile, without the boosts?

From time to time I clean up my profile by removing boosts, because I think most people opening it are going to be more interested to know what I post, not what I boost. (I also re-boost posts that way!)
Am I missing something, is there a way to filter for "Posts without boosts" and/or "Only boosts", like there is for "Posts and replies" and "Media" ?

@meganmariehart you can turn off boosts for them… so you don’t see what they boost

@stufromoz @meganmariehart I've not found any way of seeing someone's profile without their boosts, sorry

@Loukas @meganmariehart it’s this

@stufromoz @stufromoz Just tried it, and it does not hide the boosts when I look at a person's profile. I think this setting will only hide future boosts from my timeline. To bad, could have been a workaround to enable this temporarily. (I have yet to meet anyone who boosts something I don't want to see and still want to follow! 😂)

@stufromoz @meganmariehart yes,that is the equivalent of turning off retweets. But I've not found a way to view an account profile without seeing the boosts.

@stufromoz Thank you! Does that hide what they boosted when I look at a profile? I don’t want to “mute” someones boosts (in fact, I love to see them!), I’m looking for a quick way to see what they post without scrolling for a long time, to see if I want to follow them.

@meganmariehart ah, more difficult

There might be an app that does that, but not one I know currently

@stufromoz Thanks! I found the roadmap for Mastodon the other day, I might make a feature request! https://joinmastodon.org/roadmap
[ edit: or not, the “sugest a feature” link took me to github, and that is way out of my comfort zone…   ]

@meganmariehart There's something a person can put in their profile which will give a viewer access to just their posts, no boosts. Or you can use it yourself separately.
You can't use it for someone else's posts/boosts though, as you're asking for.
I don't remember what it's called but someone will know. Thought it worth mentioning as it would save you having to clean up your profile.

@emmaaum @meganmariehart
You are right. The site you are thinking of is called #JustMyToots, but it is a purely Opt-In thing.

You can see what it looks like with my one for example at: https://justmytoots.com/@paulomalley@c.im

You can add the link to your own bio and simply replace the last part with my username and simply put yours in there.
The link will begin to function instantly.

@cookie_mumbles how is justmytoots supposed to be used? When I go to https://justmytoots.com/@[email protected] I just get a 401 Unauthorised error.

@meganmariehart If you have an iPhone or a Mac, that feature is available on @ivory. You can also create custom filters.
