I've always meant to post this and it just keeps slipping my mind, because it's such a minor thing. But it is hugely annoying (Hey, #Mastodon folk, something easy to fix!).

If you open someone's profile because you want to see things they've posted, you'll think you're in luck, because it opens on the "Posts" category.

But you're not getting what you think you're getting. If the person is anything like me, they boost a lot more things than they post - and boosts appear in this "Posts" category, too.

What you want is the next category over, "Posts and replies". That will be only things they've posted, either as standalone posts or in response to others' posts.

So for posts, go to "Posts and Replies", not "Posts". And if that makes sense to you, I'm not sure we can be friends anymore 😉
