Is there an account you follow that boosts other people too much? Do you like reading their own posts, but you don't want to see their boosts?
In Mastodon you can hide an account's boosts by doing the following:
1. Go to their profile page
2. Click the ⋯ button on their profile
3. Select "Hide boosts"
You will still see their posts, it will only hide boosts. If you change your mind, go to ⋯ and select "Show boosts".
They will never know you have hidden their boosts
@FediTips Not sure this is useful to me. I recognize there's more info out there than I can possibly review by myself. If someone I follow boosts something, I want to see it.
@Yoshi It's to use for people who boost every post in a long thread of posts. That drives me mad, because people who do that don't just do it occasionally, they do it all the time. I've not only unfollowed but I've blocked people who do that. I am delighted to learn about this tool.
