@admitsWrongIfProven Unfortunately the turning off of boosts are just for your home timeline, and also toggleable per person you follow. I don't know how to toggle them off in your profile page, that would indeed be a useful feature.

@trinsec

How do you shut off boosted toots like that? (for the home timeline and especially for specific accounts)? I just stopped following someone the other day to get their boosted toots out my home timeline.

@Pat
For turning off all boosts in your home timeline, go to your home timeline and click on the options (sliding panel icon, right of your Home timeline header).

For turning off boosts of selected individuals, go to their profile page and click on the 3 dots, there is an option to 'Hide boosts from <name>'. (Only visible on a person you follow)

I found the slider on the home feed, but I can't find the 3-dots on profile pages.

@admitsWrongIfProven

@Pat
Not the web frontend profile page. Just click on my name right now, that profile page within your Qoto interface.

@admitsWrongIfProven

@trinsec

Okay. That's confusing. All I did was right-click on your name to open it in another browser tab, and it brought up the profile at:
qoto.org/@trinsec
(which doesn't have the 3-dot thingy)

The link, qoto.org/@trinsec, is what shows up when I hover the cursor over your name.

But when I just left-click on your name to bring it up under the current browser tab, it brings up the profile at:
qoto.org/web/accounts/19169
(which has the 3-dot thingy)

@admitsWrongIfProven

@Pat That is correct. Opening in a new tab opens it outside of your Qoto interface.

@admitsWrongIfProven

@trinsec

Thank you.

That whole parallel structure where toots and profiles can be opened in the web or via another route is confusing to me. I'm sure there must be a good reason for why the software was written that way, but it's confusing from a user standpoint.
