Hi,

I have a mastodon account and would like to follow some newspapers with that. I just did, but the newspapers are posting so much that my whole timeline is just spammed with their posts. Often also stuff I am not interested in.

Is anyone else here following newspapers on mastodon? How are you handling the spam?

Are some of these posts, boosts as in reposts? There should be an option to hide a follower's boosts to prevent then from flooding your TL.

You can also hide replies and use key words filters to help keep your TL tidy.
