@hopeward This is such useful information and I’m so glad you shared it. This solves several problems for me, and it’s going to help me segment and enjoy Mastodon in the same ways you describe. News for me is the biggest downer also, but it’s important to see, just in a more controlled manner. (I also am delighted to see the “show replies” controls in you screen shot.) Thank you, David!
@breitensteinart Great, and you’re welcome! Really the thanks go to the Mastodon developers… but this bit also solved problems for me, and I had to think it was maybe unnoticed.
(I’ve been getting a lot of people who were happy to hear about it!)
