Is there any way to set up my timeline so it only shows posts and boosts from people I follow? Right now my timeline is becoming rather unmanageable as its also showing everything they like or comment on.

@Kāpitan There must be cause that's how my Timeline is. Pretty sure it's somewhere in the settings somewhere

Under "Settings" / "Social Networks" / "General Social Media Settings" / "Followed Content Scope", there are several options. But it seems "only conversations my follows started" excludes both boost and comments. There doesn't seem to be an option to include boosts but exclude comments.

@Matthew Exon @anubis2814 Maybe a custom timeline that filters this stuff out? How would one do something like that?

@anubis2814 I think I have it, settings—>social networks—>General Social Media Settings

The first drop down, Followed content scope, set that to 'only conversations my follows started', that seems to give you only original posts and boosts

@Friendica Support I used to set up different friend circles, and I think Friendica has a setting to have a default circles to add new people. That way you can select that circle in the list of options on the top left of the Network tab. Nice thing is that these circles and groups can be filtered on apps as well.

I believe you can set friends to be in different circles in the Contacts tab, but might be quite a one-time endeavor if you have a lot of contacts.

@JB Carroll Yep, I've done that, but the problem still remains that all that'll do is break my timeline up into smaller pieces, we'll still be getting replies from posts we're not interested in.
