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

@FediTips Wow, thank you. The only problem is that this limits visibility of accounts like yours that I encountered because they were boosted by people I trust!

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.

If you're boosting a post from your home timeline, it will not add any additional copies to your home timeline.
Do you mean when other people boost your posts?

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.

You will still be able to see boosts if they are boosted by other accounts

@FediTips I'd like to have an option of swiching off boosts for the entire timeline, or even better, separate timelines for posts, boosts, and both.

You can switch off all boosts on your entire Home timeline:
1. Log in on your server's website (for you that is https://sueden.social
2. Click
️ in the top right corner of your home timeline
3. Toggle "show boosts" to off -

I mean when I boost a post from e.g. the "local" or "federated" timelines or from search. I use Moshidon, which also let's me see (and boost posts from) local timelines from other servers.Any post that I boost, I have probably already seen, so showing it to me again doesn't add anything useful.

Ahh okay, makes sense!
As far as I know there's nothing to hide this in vanilla Mastodon but third party apps like Moshidon might be able to add this?
