I was just thinking to myself "It would be good if #Mastodon let you follow someone's original posts without seeing all the stuff they boost, which is not relevant to me".
Then it occurred to me to look and see if it does ... and it does! Click on the person's username, then click the three-dots menu near top right of their profile, then choose "Hide boosts from …"
This is a game-changer!
@mike certain clients - like Ivory on iOS - allow you to create custom filters to hide all boosts and/or replies, posts with media, links, mute words, etc.
Earlier this summer I spent two weeks in a remote location with no WiFi and spotty 5G. I soon discovered that Ivory was « eating up » massive amounts of data from my phone plan.
So I created a filter that hid posts with media. Problem fixed.
Game changer for sure, highly recommended
