My Fediverse Advice:
* Follow more people. No, even more people than that. Basically, if you find a real person and their posts are good follow 'em
* If you get a good reply to a post boost it. If you make a good reply to a post boost it. Replies are not visible in the feed unless you do this. As long as the post is an OK start to a conversation or interesting boost it.
* Write thoughtful replies. And if you put effort into a reply boost it or probably only the people tagged will see it.
I am still relatively new to the Fediverse. I'm very happy with it, but there's one thing I've noticed re:boosts.
I now follow several people who regularly boost posts from people I already follow, so I may see the post when it's first posted, then see it again two or three times when it's boosted by others. Is there some setting to adjust to avoid that, or do I just bask in the fact that I'm part of a pod of like-minded folk?
@VirginiaHolloway I was looking for that type of filtering when I was first active here. I'm not aware of any way to do exactly what you (and I) want to do. I've found that between increasing the number of accounts I follow, and getting used to the repeated boosts, I don't notice it nearly as much any more.
If you find a way to make the filter we are looking for, please post!
