My guide to Mastodon! Simple stuff, but not necessarily obvious (to me at least).
- Follow with reckless abandon! Follow lots of hashtags. Fill your feed!
- Make a list with folks you especially enjoy
Then prune:
- Mute with reckless abandon!
- Block assholes
- Filter phrases and hashtags
*Advanced*
- Hide someone's boosts without muting if you don't want to miss their posts.
- Make a list with news, etc. and then hide list members from your home feed to reduce noise/stress.

@james@adney.land Omg the advanced options are gold. I was following super active people and got overwhelmed by the sheer volume of their postings, so had to unfollow. But muting people's boosts and/or having lists that aren't on your homefeed would fix that for me! Thank you!

@james@adney.land @WilliamNB@social.vivaldi.net I have found I've done no pruning nor blocking on Masto; most here are behave sensibly.
