@pixelfed Is there a way to deactivate this function without unfollowing the hashtag? Personally, I prefer to see the posts of the people I follow without having everything mixed up.

@pixelfed Honestly, this'd be a fantastic Mastodon feature... whilst I can usually tell why I'm seeing posts seemingly out of the blue, by scanning for tags I follow, I can see that becoming an issue when following more, or more active, tags...

@pixelfed I really like the transparency promoted by this. Knowing I can peak behind the curtain and either adapt my expectations or make changes to what I’m following is lovely.

@pixelfed
Not seeing this option. Is this just a recommendation?

@pixelfed not true. I do not have that option in my menu. You need to tell me what to do to get that option.
