@lasseskrachen @gardeningwell What do you mean with "groups" above? Re too many boosts, I have used the feature for one or another to silence their boosts and only get their own messages, because they have been boosting too much to be desiable for me.
@lasseskrachen Aho, oki, thanks, then I'll check what it is. Re silence boosts, go to the three dots in that persons profile, 2nd row. That is in web browser, if your instance is set up as mine.
@hehemrin Ah, found it. Thanks a lot. Is that a Mastodon4 feature? I think I used to see ppl on here complain that a such function doesn't exist until recently...
@lasseskrachen I think it’s been there before. Here it is in the docs: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moderating/#hide-boosts
@hehemrin I didn't know such a feature exists :o
For groups, check out https://a.gup.pe, there is a list of existing »groups«. A group in here is an automated account ppl can follow. Whenever you mention a group, your toot will be automatically boosted to all followers.
On mentioning a non-existing group in the style of @account @a.gup.pe, a group will be automatically created.
Those features shouldn't be overused / abused tho, of course.
