Another feature as mentioned in #iq4rusa is using filters on the Timeline and/or Discover views. One of the most common “workflows” I use is to go to “Discover” and use the “Without replies” and “Hide my posts” filters to see if there’s anything new and interesting in my pod’s cache I haven’t seen before or maybe could reply to (or not).
Of course as I’ve lo ... ⌘ Read more

One thing to be clear about here is that it was never my intention for a pod’s “front page” (Discover view when not logged in) to be any kind of “listing” or “advertising” or such. That was completely unintentional.

There’s also a pod-level setting (admins) that control what the “Discover” (or front page if you’re not logged in) display:
This is either:

One of the problems I have with changing the way the “Discover” view works whilst at the same time keeping it “clean” ( _depending on who you talk to_) is the behaviour between “Timeline” (what you follow explicitly) and “Discover” (a view into the pod’s cache). See attached, where I by default prefer a “collapsed” view ( _hiding replies_). The default behaviour for Discover (no controls) is ... ⌘ Read more_
