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

Hmm, I wonder if I can hide my own boosts...
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?
@FediTips
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.
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?
@FediTips
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.
