    So because some people are struggling with too many boosts in their feeds - there are ways to make that easier.

    In the vanilla Mastodon web client, there's a little filters button at the top right of the home feed. Open that and you get toggles to show or not show boosts or replies.

    Another client I use a lot is called @phanpy - what's great about it is that it groups boosts into carousels that you can easily scroll down past, or swipe sideways to explore.

    @sarajw @phanpy You can also set your subscription to a user to show only their original posts, but not their boosts. There's not a middle ground, unfortunately (eg "X% of boosts" or "no more than X boosts per day").

    Phanpy's "Catch-up" feature is great for this, though... You can peruse only original posts, separate from boosts, and you can see who is doing a lot of either, and just decide "you know what, no, enough out of you", skip reading, and then easily mute them for a while.
