How to shrink your feed
I posted asking for help on this a bit ago, and while I didn't get any solutions, it did get my brain thinking outside of the box, and I found the solution, its easy, but proof that the UI, especially the settings layout really needs some work around here.
For whatever reason, the necessary setting isn't under the timeline settings, but Social Networks
The key setting here is Followed Content Scope, default is 'Conversations my follows started or commented on', but if'n you change it to 'Only conversations my follows started' if will only show original posts and boosts.
Hopefully this'll help others, I mentioned in a comment on my original post, but that could easily be missed, so here we go. Oh, and if'n you've any tag suggestions, send them my way, and I'll prolly add them.

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.

@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.
Billing?
Man, this should prolly be the default theme
@#SpaceHost Help was nice enough to install the Bookface theme for my instance, and I gotta say its really nice looking:
That's the light theme, and I'm not often a fan of light themes, at least not over dark themes, usually I don't have a preference, but the dark I don't think is quite as good:
Seriously, I think this is much better than the stock theme, and should always be included.

A Tumblr theme will be amazing. There are actually a few Tumblr-like platforms on the Fediverse, like Loforo, Wafrn

— (STL, MO, US, Earth)@#SpaceHost Help @🌴 Seph 💭 👾 Yeah, Friendica seems the easiest route, so long as you can live with losing audio and video files, something it doesn't handle, but you do get RSS feeds and Diaspora access which is almost unique to it.
As to the others, neither feels quite like Tumblr, Wafrn feels the least original, can't put my finger on what it reminds me of, but it almost feels like something we already have but zoomed in. Loforo definitely feels unique, prolly more like Tumblr, though that right sidebar really needs to float.
Appropriate reporting
Ok, I'm sure other Fediverse #admin have gotten reports like this:
Yes, obviously we haven't been checking our reports regularly, with only 3 active users, and only one that's truly active, its easy to monitor this place, so reports aren't hugely important.
That said, gotta love this one, I mean expecting someone to be punished not for violating rules here, but maybe, possibly doing something bad somewhere on the internet.
Umm, unless they break the rules here, we don't really have grounds to ban them, I mean sure, I can do anything I want, but it doesn't reflect well on me for banning people for no reason.
Second and more important, is the lack of proof, its not like user names are unique, the ones I use elsewhere on the web, I know of multiple other users using the same or similar names (minor spelling variations, number substitutes, etc), even if I were inclined to ban someone for something they do somewhere else, I'd need proof of the behavior and proof that its them.
Seriously, if you're going to report a user, feel free, but don't bother us with unsubstantiated claims that have nothing to do with our instance, sadly we don't control the entire internet.
Hello, thanks for checking in.
It’s been longer than we originally anticipated. In hindsight, our mistake was relying on just one processor rather than having multiple options in place.
Right now, the matter is in the hands of our legal representative, who’s working directly with Stripe to resolve the outstanding requirements.
We’ll keep you updated as soon as we have a green light.
Thanks again for bearing with us!
@howtophil on a scale of "people should be able to live in peace" to "some types of people should not exist" please point to the area that's "moderate".
Hint: it's not in the same place as the scale that goes "Amigas rule" to "Commodore sucks".
Payment problem
#SpaceHost Help likes this.
Thanks for checking in!
We're still working on resolving the billing issue with our payment gateway, but it's nearing completion. We’re in the final stretch, and things should be fully back to normal soon.
Rest assured, this hasn’t and won’t affect our hosting services in any way.
We really appreciate your patience and understanding as we wrap this up. If you have any other questions or need a hand with anything else, we're here!
So it's been going on for a little bit. Over 2+ weeks since the final stretch. Is this going to be solved in the next couple of days?
This is defo something that I can't have hundreds come out of my bank due to the hosting service not collecting what I owe you for hosting the previous months. Can you please keep everyone upto date with whats going on.
@sam
Yes, it started a couple of weeks ago and we did send out email notifying customers about the issue.
Not to worry, it will be resolved in a way that won't impact you, and a concession will be given since this is all our fault.
Once again, apologies for the inconvenience.

What this instance has
Hey all y'all, just thought I'd toss a note out about the accounts I have here.
Yes, 'I'
This account is the admin account, any questions, comments or issues you have should be directed here.
@recall@taursnd.haus where I share any news articles on recalls I hear about no matter how small, and we also boost recalls when we find them on the Fediverse.
@taurnation@taursnd.haus is where I share all the taurs, lamias and naga art I find online, link sharing only unless it's a commission of mine. Currently it's a #friendica community, but I'm thinking of changing it to a standard account in hopes that it
@vextaur@taursnd.haus is my personal account, where you'll find everything from unboxing to music, random thoughts to memes and much much more
What's with the domain name?
Me and my husband ( @Vik-Thor / Lirleni Hankeshe ) both have taur OC's, a cattaur for him, and a centaur for me, so a taur themed domain seemed fitting.

Billing question
@#SpaceHost Help Well that was stupid, I messaged you about a billing question on my Mastodon instance just before it was shutting down, whoops.
Any how, as I asked over there, my payment bounced, apparently my bank didn't like you, and your system is rather hyperactive about re-trying which really pissed them off. I believe it's sorted now, and I updated the card to the same one, but haven't seen a new attempt. Kinda wish y'all took PayPal, that always works.
This is something that has not happened before. The issue with payment was most likely with the bank.
However, thank you for the feedback. We have noted your suggestion

A question for the #friendica admins out there.
My instance seems to be missing a user feature, as you can see from the pics, on my old venera.social account (the striped one), there's a 'network widgets' section in additional features, which is missing from my new hosted instance.
Is that an old feature, or is that missing from my instance?
Is it something I as the admin need to activate, or do I need to ask my host to do that?
Thanks
EDIT
Forgot to mention, we're running Friendica 'Giant Rhubarb' 2023.05 - 1518
That's rather old, isn't it?
