Ahhh okay, gotcha! Thank you

Jess, is it okay if I list this tip on the mute conversation guide at https://fedi.tips?

[jesstheunstill@infosec.exchange]

@FediTips @sodiboo sure - or wordsmith it to be more clear. Whatever, just wanted to share a pro tip

[feditips@social.growyourown.services]

@JessTheUnstill

Thanks!

Do you want a credit or should I just add the tip without a credit?

[jesstheunstill@infosec.exchange]

Also, for it to be in your notifications section, you have to have interacted with the conversation first.

The case I'm talking about is:

Say @FediTips writes a (perfectly fine) toot that I don't really care to see for whatever reason. It talks about something I find annoying or triggering or idk, whatever. But the toot goes viral and that and replies to that keeps getting boosted back into my timeline. So I want the conversation to not be on my timeline anymore, but I don't want to comment on the conversation and then have people see I made some inane post just so I could mute it all.

Okay, yup, gotcha. If it's between two people you know it would turn up in your Home timeline without notifications (as @sodiboo said too) This is a fantastic tip!

I don't think you have to interact though, just get mentioned? People doing replies might strip the mention out but they tend not to, so you can end up getting lots of notifictions from conversations you never took part in

@JessTheUnstill

I wonder if your tip could be used to permanently hide specific boosts you keep seeing too?

It's a popular feature request.

[jesstheunstill@infosec.exchange]

@FediTips yeah, that's how I use it

Woo, this is a revolution!
