Is there an account you follow that boosts other people too much? Do you like reading their own posts, but you don't want to see their boosts?
In Mastodon you can hide an account's boosts by doing the following:
1. Go to their profile page
2. Click the ⋯ button on their profile
3. Select "Hide boosts"
You will still see their posts, it will only hide boosts. If you change your mind, go to ⋯ and select "Show boosts".
They will never know you have hidden their boosts 🙂

Russia declared that it will not return control of the occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) to Ukraine or transfer it to U.S. oversight.
“The Zaporizhzhia NPP will remain under Russian control, and its property belongs to the Russian Federation,” said Yuriy Chernichuk, the occupiers’ appointed “station director,” in comments to the TASS propagandist agency.

The Institute for Museum and Library Services Is Now a Propaganda Machine: Book Censorship News, March 21, 2025
DOGE didn't dismantle the only federal agency supporting public libraries. It was instead turned into a propaganda machine. That, plus this week's book censorship news.Kelly Jensen (BOOK RIOT)

Just how screwed up is American society and its politics today?
The answer may be found by looking at HOW each political party's supporters may view this picture.
Democrats may see "Lady Liberty" as being afflicted by the "cancers" of racism, fascism, and pretty much every thought, behind every policy, of the GOP at all levels.
Republicans, on the other hand, now see liberty itself as being the "cancer."
Republican supporters probably see "Libertas" as NOT being on a hospital bed receiving treatment, but rather as being executed by lethal injection... and about time, too!
Rabid christian fascists have probably been saying that "Libertas", the ancient Roman goddess of liberty (upon whom the Statue of Liberty was possibly inspired), is a false god and any who believe in Liberty shall be put to death.
The phrase, "Give me liberty or give me death," used to mean something honourable and inspirational.
Today, if said in the presence of a Republican, that phrase is likely to be taken as an invitation to be immediately shot dead.
Woo! USA! USA!! USA!!!

What exactly do you mean?
If you're boosting a post from your home timeline, it will not add any additional copies to your home timeline.
Do you mean when other people boost your posts?
Leeloo
in reply to Fedi.Tips 🎄 • • •I mean when I boost a post from e.g. the "local" or "federated" timelines or from search. I use Moshidon, which also let's me see (and boost posts from) local timelines from other servers.
Any post that I boost, I have probably already seen, so showing it to me again doesn't add anything useful.

in reply to Leeloo • • •@leeloo
Ahh okay, makes sense!
As far as I know there's nothing to hide this in vanilla Mastodon but third party apps like Moshidon might be able to add this?
Leeloo
in reply to Fedi.Tips 🎄 • • •Yeah, but if we can hide boosts from specific people, the feature already exists, all that is missing is a way to add your own user id.
In theory anyway, I haven't looked at the code.

in reply to Fedi.Tips 🎄 • • •- This is SUPER USEFUL, but I wish I had the power as admin of an instance to block boosts from certain accounts server-wide.
Some accounts post nothing but boosts, which renders our Home feed just a river of low-quality or downright stolen re-posts. I can Force-sensitive, Limit, or Suspend external accounts. Hiding their boosts across my server would be good for all my users and improve the community experience.

in reply to Fedi.Tips 🎄 • • •That's cool. It depends on my mood and time available. I love boosts. I use boosts to find people who write posts I like.
But sometimes I want to find a person's recent posts.
Very interesting.

You will still be able to see boosts if they are boosted by other accounts 🙂

Yup, that's if you want to block all boosts from everyone.
The idea of individual options is if there are just specific accounts which boost too much.

2. Click ⚙️ in the top right corner of your home timeline
3. Toggle "show boosts" to off
