Muting a User

There are often times when you don't want to stop following someone, but their posts are becoming a bit intense, or they are over zealous with the Boost button!

Mastodon allows you to Mute someone, for a period of time, or until you unmute. The person doesn't know they have been muted.

On any one of the user's posts, or in their profile, click on the three dots and select Mute @(username)

Change the slider to a tick to Hide notifications

Notice the drop down menu beside Duration. Self explanatory; how long do you wish to mute? 'Indefinite' will mute their posts on your feed until you unmute, OR select a period of time to silence them.

Find the user in your followers list. Click the three dots. Select Unmute.

Note There is currently no way to list all accounts you have muted, so keep a note!
