While following a lot of people can populate your Home feed significantly, sometimes people (like me) end up boosting a lot and that can unexpectedly hinder your own experience.
So if you like someone's specific posts and don't want to follow their boosts, you can go to their profile under the [...] button, and select the "Hide boosts from account" button.
There is no algorithm on Mastodon. You have ownership and control over every filtering decision instead of some robot.
The ten year old has tried something bold and I like it very much.

My authentic self uses the F-word, cries in public, & hates on the Atlanta Falcons. This is probably NOT a good branding position. Dilemma.
Woot woot! https://ceoln.wordpress.com/2022/11/26/woot-woot/
I weblogged! Basically about all the stuff that happened while I was weblogging just the #nanowrimo stuffs...
I should try posting on here! One thing I love doing on the ol’ social media is dishing publishing advice, so…
If you’re a writer gearing up to pitch, building a book proposal, researching agents, etc. I have a big resource page just for you.
Successful query letters, book proposals, guides to finding representation, all free. Here you go. https://www.ericsmithrocks.com/perfect-pitch #publishing #writing #authors
Heard a rumor that they're going to show one of the original prints of #goncharov after the next #LateLateToyShow... :D
Time for an #introduction. I'm a historian (#histodons) working on the history of #tea, #coffee and other #intoxicants in #17thcentury and #18thcentury Hamburg/Germany. I'm interested in #earlymodern #bodies, #medicine, #materialculture and #consumption, and #practices of #sendingstuff.
Previously on the #IntoxicatingSpaces team (www.intoxicatingspaces.org), I now work on the #PrizePapers Project (www.prizepapers.de) at Oldenburg University.
Further loves: #baroquemusic, #earlymusic, #viola.
#Introduction: Hi all, I'm a #historian #histodon working primarily on the #LongEighteenthCentury. My PhD looked at #Irish soldiers in the #BritishArmy during the #NapoleonicWars. My postdoc looked at Irishmen in the #FrenchArmy (the #IrishBrigade or #WildGeese). Since then I've worked on both topics, with articles & chapters on these & others including the Irish Militia & the #1798Rebellion. I also research on topics relating to the #Crusades & #medievalIreland. Looking forward to meeting you!
Does anyone on here have experience in reading Italian cursive and understand Italian birth records?
I’m chasing up a lead on a potential ancestor and I’m trying to confirm their parents names to see if they match my ancestors.
Also if anyone has knowledge of how Italian birth records work, I’d love to know what other info is stored in this image.

Hello new followers! A quick #introduction
I'm a historian of the (long) #18thcentury, currently writing a book exploring the #FrenchRevolution through the eyes of three women. My last was about the scandalous c18th #Byron dynasty (a prequel to that dastardly poet)
I'm also a #genealogist, #dog lover & new first-time mum ... here I am at Stowe Park yesterday, Very Tired but happy to be OUT

A call for help from my Mastodon friends:
I work at the intersection of #CognitivePsychology, #neuroscience, and #education: a field often called #MindBrainEducation.
So far, I've found folks in each of those disciplines, and am learning a lot.
However, I've found only a few looking at the overlaps and conversations.
If you could help me find my #MBE people here, I'd be grateful.
(Please reblog.)

#helloworld! I like it when the #internet is for everyone and am trying out the #fediverse. Please bear with me; I was told I should use lots of #hashtags and am trying out the features.
I'm using #fedilab on Android. I already have a #noobquestion: can I add hashtags in Fedilab to my home feed? Right now I have some hashtags in the top bar but I have to view them all separately. #thx!
How many characters are too many? Can I just go on forever? I heard there was a limit but I still haven't reached it. Maybe it's 600 characters? 1000? I guess at some point the numbers will just go red and I will know what's up. Ok it wasn't 600. I'll just search online then because this is getting way out of hand. ...GREAT SCOTT I'm glad I did: it's 65,535 characters on my instance. #qoto 😂
Hi, just a friendly reminder that masks not only protect you from COVID but also from other nasty seasonal respiratory viruses, and basically everybody should be wearing them indoors with other people during the winter months.
