<![CDATA[My guide to Mastodon!]]>My guide to Mastodon! Simple stuff, but not necessarily obvious (to me at least).

- Follow with reckless abandon! Follow lots of hashtags. Fill your feed!
- Make a list with folks you especially enjoy

Then prune:

- Mute with reckless abandon!
- Block assholes
- Filter phrases and hashtags

*Advanced*

- Hide someone's boosts without muting if you don't want to miss their posts.
- Make a list with news, etc. and then hide list members from your home feed to reduce noise/stress.

I was following super active people and got overwhelmed by the sheer volume of their postings, so had to unfollow. But muting people's boosts and/or having lists that aren't on your homefeed would fix that for me! Thank you!
