There's a weird incentive in the Fediverse where there are a bunch of people I don't follow because they post 90% things I'm interested in, and other people I follow boost those posts, so I see the interesting posts multiple times without following them. Occasionally I follow them and then realise I'm just getting more copies of the same posts and unfollow them again. Which doesn't mean I'm not interested in them, it just means following them doesn't actually show me more of their posts.
@david_chisnall its a good problem to have, imo. I noticed that phenom too
@david_chisnall I found the feature 'hide boosts' on Mastodon super useful for this for people I follow who boost a lot, but I really only care about their updates. I don't know if you use that at all?
Except what I think what we really want is a "hide boosts of mutual follows" setting.
@david_chisnall that's indeed a bit annoying to have multiple time the same boost.
That make sens because mastodon is linear. But I would like to have an option to see post that are boosted only once.
