@Gargron@mastodon.social "Remove Follow" is something I didn't know about. And over the years many of my followers have migrated to different instances, so I'm still followed by the old, inactive account. And they're clogging my list and falsly inflating my follower count. Now I get to remove those followers. Yippee! :-)

@Gargron@mastodon.social Thanks for reminding me about word filters in Mastodon. When I have time, I'll watch the video with other Mastodon tips, but bite-sized videos are easier to fit in my schedule.

@Gargron@mastodon.social Thanks for this. I need more help. I want to filter out Dogs (to use your example) but the postings I want to filter out don't contain the word "dog" or "dogs", just images of dogs. How do I tell Mastodon to filter out particular images rather than keywords ?
