A much-requested feature added to Mastodon 4.2.0 is the ability to follow accounts in Lists while hiding them from your Home timeline.

To do this:

1. Log into your server's website
2. Click on Lists (on mobile it's an icon with three dots and three lines)
3. Click on the list whose contents you want to hide on Home
4. Click the slider icon in the top right corner
5. Activate the option labelled "Hide these posts from home"

(Note that this hides the chosen list's entire contents from Home.)

@feditips This only works through the web interface on your server I gather? Would be brilliant if applied to posts your software app of choice was gathering via the API as well rather than having to rely on software dev to implement filtering, lists etc

@dalereardon

I think it works on apps if they support Lists, but I don't know if they have the relevant settings available yet, so I'm suggesting people do the settings on the websites.

Also, the official apps don't support Lists at all yet, so it's only for people using certain third party apps anyway.
