π½πβππYou can go further if you use the web interface + #Tampermonkey #userscripts. You can catch literally any unwanted posts according to the criteria that you set yourself. Yes, this is not at the server level, but just filtering in your view, crooked, askew, but it works π
You can also use filters to hide unwanted posts with particular content: https://fedi.tips/filtering-your-timeline-to-hide-posts-on-mastodon/
Filters don't work on user IDs, only on post content. So I had to code my own local implementation...
βSpeaking of account muting, it completely hides posts from your feed (unlike keyword mute, which allows you to leave a mention of the unwanted post). That's why I had to implement it, at least as an experiment. Another benefit is that it doesn't break comment threads on posts. But, again, this is just an experiment for now, to see if this feature is even useful.
tkissing@FediTips Is there a way to do that for myself? Sometimes I want to refer back to an old toot of mine and it's a pain to find it in between boosts.
Yes! If you log into your server's website (for you that's https://mastodon.social) and then go to your profile, you can set it to hide your boosts.
Alternatively, you can use special phrases called search operators to search posts. If you just want to search your own posts include the phrase from:me in the search. More info at https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-search-for-stuff-on-mastodon/

Εukasz MichaΕ@FediTips Thanks, had no idea about that feature.
PopsipI'm glad there's an option to hide boosts at all, but I hope someday that there will be a bit more options for controlling an amount of boost to display from someone instead of completely turning it off.
Like maybe an option for only showing the first n-th amount of someone's boosts or maybe displaying their most recent boost and then displaying their next boost n-th minutes from the one previously displayed.
Kai und der Andere ποΈ@FediTips this one got lost in translation. in german it says "hide boosted posts of OP", which to me clearly means not to show me original boosts of OP if they were boosted.

@FediTips now, now, is there REALLY such a thing as boosting too much?
Heliograph@FediTips would be so nice if we could also select "show replies" as a permanent setting ππ«
