OMG! This newbie just discovered "slow mode" and my life has changed for the better! Now I can control the rate of new toots being added to the various columns on my dashboard. Just go to Settings/Preferences and make sure the "slow mode" box is checked. Perfect! :)
@MsDelphiOracle Why that option is not default I don't know!

This toot made me join #mastodon finally. Thanks for the spin 😇
More info: It's in the "appearance" submenu, just under the heading for animations....
