Many of us follow many accounts. This leads to a Home timeline that is very busy, especially if our Follows are heavy boosters.

The interface allows us to hide all boosts from Home, so that we only see original posts by our Follows. It's refreshing. There are no third-party posts and I can focus on the actual comments of my Follows.

#HideBoosts #Home #Timeline #FediTips

The #mastodon #hideboosts function is a wonderful one.

@angelsaura444 AND I #boost, but not all the time or folks may #hideboosts. I boost #introductions so the #hashtags of #interests can find their way to the eyes that wait for just those very things.
:) I think finding common interests and being sure to #curate for yourself are the best part here. But it takes #hashtags and #following LOTS of people over time so you find each other. I hope people seeking #SocialJustice continue to flood the #Fediverse and #DoGood :agooglehearts:

You can #HideBoosts of that very eager contact you now follow on #Mastodon who boosts unscrupulously by visiting their profile and clicking on their profile settings (three dots icon).

"Also, if you feel someone you follow is #Boosting to much and cluttering your timeline, simply click the three dots (top right) on their home page and tap #HideBoosts. Much nicer than unfollowing."

TIL - thanks.

For the newest of #Newbies

Your #Posts, #Boosts and #Follows power the timeline here. YOU are the algorithm.

#Following is king
#Boosting is queen
#Likes are sweet
#FollowingBack is neighborly
#Hashtags get you noticed

Also, if you feel someone you follow is #Boosting to much and cluttering your timeline, simply click the three dots (top right) on their home page and tap #HideBoosts. Much nicer than unfollowing.

I cannot praise the #hideboosts feature enough! In fact, I think I might turn it on on everybody. Only read original content. Then the space by definition becomes less of an #echochamber.

Worse, who the hell keeps #boosting themselves? #HIDEBOOSTS now! :flan_nooo:

Any idea why "#hideboosts from" is not working? My home is flooded by hyper-enthusiastic reboosters, #boosting stuff i already have in my feed, so it is just clutter. I logged out, cleared cache, the usual. No avail.
