Are you following an account that does good posts, but you don't want to see their boosts of other people's posts?

You can mute just an account's boosts without muting its own posts by doing the following:

1. Go to the profile of the account whose boosts you want to hide
2. Click on the ⋯ button on their profile
3. Select "Hide boosts"

(New people: "Boosts" are the name for shared posts on here. They mean the same as re-tweets or re-blogs.)

New to Mastodon?

In your Mastodon profile, add text to your Bio. Why?

"It tells people directly what your account is about, and avoids them having to do detective work on your feed to find out what kind of account you run.

It also makes your profile accessible to blind and partially-sighted people."

Had several questions about how the main "Home" feed works on Mastodon. Here's what it shows:

1. All posts from all accounts you follow in chronological order, newest at top
2. All posts shared by accounts or groups you follow
3. Posts that use hashtags you follow in chronological order, newest at top

...and that's it, there's nothing else on your Home feed. It doesn't push anything else at you, it doesn't hide anything from you unless you ask it to. No algorithms, no ads.
