Follow + Hide Boosts is seriously one of the best low-key features of Mastodon. I use it all the time. It's wonderful.

So if you follow me or want to follow me but really don't want to see my boosts because I boost a lot? PLEASE USE IT I WILL NOT BE OFFENDED IT IS A GOOD FEATURE. IT IS SO GOOD.

Here's Space Catitude talking about it:

Basically "hide boosts from" is wonderful.

(Y'know what else is? Time-limited mutes. Goddamn I love that so much. I use it, too.)

My profile, as seen from an account following it on a standard Mastodon web interface. The three-dots menu on the upper right drops down a list of options. One of them is the option to hide boosts (circled in red).

Attached: 1 image I'm seeing a lot of concern over heavy news today and boosts. So I want to call your attention to a useful, but perhaps little-known Mastodon feature: If you want to follow an account on Mastodon, but you don't like the posts that they boost from others, you can hide these from an option on their profile (in the web UI) without having to unfollow them. There are many strongly held opinions on the "correct" use of CW and what ought to be boosted, so this can be a useful way to cope.
