Post
Everything in your main "Home" timeline on Mastodon is there for one of these reasons:
-An account you follow posted it
-An account you follow boosted it
-The post contains a hashtag you follow
-An account you follow replied to an account you also follow
-An account you follow replied to itself
Nothing else gets in your main feed, it's just these things.
If hashtags are at the end of a post they are displayed in a smaller font below the post, which some people miss.
And to those who scold others for what they see in their timeline, stop whining and solve your own problems.
@FediTips I believe that there is another case, which is somewhat a special case of the third point: the post *contained* a hashtag you follow, but was later edited so it no longer does.
The initial hashtag pushed the post into your home feed, but the later edit does not *remove* the post from your home feed.
If people abuse this, block them. 🙂
@FediTips
I am glad you specified "home" timeline as there are multiple timelines and two of them will show content unrelated to what you listed. For example the "local" timeline shows all posts made by someone on your server. I forget one the other one is or what it shows, but it is extremely active whenever I look at it
@FediTips AND NO ADS 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
@FediTips Wait? What about a reply of someone I follow to a post from someone I don't follow? #Fediverse
You only see replies if they are by someone you follow to someone else you also follow, or someone you follow replying to themselves, or someone you follow boosting a reply by anyone.
