@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I think my misunderstanding stemmed from the fact that, i'm following a popular hashtag with numerous low quality posts.
One of the things I don't like about Mastodon is that following is completely binary. You either see everything or nothing. I'd like to be able to say something like 'show me the posts in this hash tag with more than N favourites' or 'show me a random selection of 10% of what this person posts, weighted by boost + favourite count'.
