@pachli @lexipic However, it doesn't hide all duplicates. Still, a very welcome feature.

@kallekn @pachli It would go a long way.

@lexipic @kallekn I like that. Do you think the attached, with description, is clear enough?

The only boost not covered by this is if two people you follow both boost the same post by another account, and the original post was not public. I suspect that's rare enough to not be an issue.

@pachli @lexipic The description is good. But boosts can also be duplicate if several accounts that I follow independently boost a post by somebody I do not follow. That does happen a bit, and these duplicates will not be hidden as far as I understand?

@kallekn @lexipic That's correct. I think that sort of de-duplication can only be done at the server level, because only the server has the complete view of your timeline.

I haven't thought about this long enough yet to think up any clever tricks that might mitigate it.

@pachli
Until now, I've wanted a feature to "hide my own boosts" or "do not show my own boosts" to keep the timeline clean. I like this approach, and if it still makes sense when translated into German, it's perfect. All of this should be available as options. Then every user can decide for themselves.
