When you follow someone on Mastodon, you will see their replies in your Home timeline only if: - They mention you OR - They mention someone else you follow OR - They are replying to themselves to build a thread OR - Someone you follow has boosted their reply This applies to replies with public, unlisted or followers-only visibilities. You can browse their replies to people you don&#39;t follow on their profile page in the Posts &amp; Replies tab. #FediTips #MastoTips #Mastodon

@feditips@mstdn.social does it count as someone boosting their reply if they themselves boost it, for these purposes?

@feditips@mstdn.social That's a weakness. If users want to see everything posted by an account they follow, they should not need to find that account's profile page and go looking. Especially for time sensitive matters and events. If I follow someone specifically to see their posts about a news event, I want to see them in my timeline, along with posts from the other accounts I follow for the same reason.

@feditips@mstdn.social Thanks! Now I understand why I’m not seeing people. Sounds like to I need to make a list of everyone I follow if I want to actually see what they’re saying. https://mstdn.social/@feditips/111093438454778920
