I've had to unfollow The Economist, they were swamping my timeline. Calm down guys!
@bykimbo Yeah, I’ve had to do that with a few other automatic news relating ones, and one journo who was in full post and never read or reply mode.
@admin oh yes that would be frustrating too!
On here? I can recommend looking into lists, they're kind of additional timelines for your own use. So if someone spams a lot but you'd still like to be able to see their posts fairly easily, you could dump them in a list timeline that you name 'Spammy people I follow' or something. :)
I think your features might differ from ours. We can follow hashtags and then also decide in which timeline it gets placed. This might be Qoto-specific.
(Yes, we already had a following hashtags feature before official Mastodon introduced it)
From what I can see on my backup account on a default Mastodon instance is that your followed hashtags always ends up in the Home timeline?
@trinsec Thanks for that - I’ve not got into exploring lists yet. Subscribed to various hash tags, but not lists.
