If you follow someone whose own posts are good but they boost too much, you can hide just their boosts if you want:

You can go further if you use the web interface + #Tampermonkey #userscripts. You can catch literally any unwanted posts according to the criteria that you set yourself. Yes, this is not at the server level, but just filtering in your view, crooked, askew, but it works

@FediTips Is there a way to do that for myself? Sometimes I want to refer back to an old toot of mine and it's a pain to find it in between boosts.

@FediTips

I see this while I am indeed boosting too much.

[peerg@mastodon.social]

@resplendent606 @FediTips
Same.

@tkissing

Yes! If you log into your server's website (for you that's https://mastodon.social) and then go to your profile, you can set it to hide your boosts.

Alternatively, you can use special phrases called search operators to search posts. If you just want to search your own posts include the phrase from:me in the search. More info at https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-search-for-stuff-on-mastodon/

I boosted this, too.

You can also use filters to hide unwanted posts with particular content: https://fedi.tips/filtering-your-timeline-to-hide-posts-on-mastodon/

@FediTips Thanks, had no idea about that feature.
