Is there an account you follow that boosts other people too much? Do you like reading their own posts, but you don't want to see their boosts?

In Mastodon you can hide an account's boosts by doing the following:

1. Go to their profile page
2. Click the ⋯ button on their profile
3. Select "Hide boosts"

You will still see their posts, it will only hide boosts. If you change your mind, go to ⋯ and select "Show boosts".

They will never know you have hidden their boosts 🙂

I managed to hide everyone's boosts. I went to "home" and at the top there are three hashmark thingies. Click on that and you can set your feed to not show any boosts at all. That way you don't need to go to each person's profile to mute their boosts.

@KathyLK

Yup, that's if you want to block all boosts from everyone.

The idea of individual options is if there are just specific accounts which boost too much.

@FediTips

I used that option because I was only getting boosts and no original posts at all. I knew that people I followed were posting, because I would track them down, but I wasn't seeing their posts, I was only seeing boosts from other people I followed.
