Here is an intermediate-level #feditips for those of you who have found The Content, but now have Too Much Content:

Many apps (including the Mastodon web app) let you turn off all boosts in your timeline. On the Mastodon web app you click the "settings" button at the top of the Home timeline and deselect "Show boosts". Then you will only see content posted by people you follow, no boosted stuff.

I like how the timeline feels following 1000+ accounts I picked, but not seeing any boosts.
