@millard_jmm @evistre Hi, and thank you!
What does the star do to the post (and is there a 101 for beginners floating around for when I come up with a zillion more questions)?

@john_b @evistre @millard_jmm
Thank you! (Have a picture of a random bee as thanks, also testing how image embedding works being quite the visual learner myself)
Include some kind of keyword or hashtag and you're golden. We can mute posts matching certain textual criteria here.
@evistre Aha, so let's say I tag stuff as #PodLearnsAButton, folks can mute that and not have to be subjected to my nonsense anymore? Effing genius!
@MediocreTheropod 100%! Some folks like to make their own mute-me hashtag too lol
@evistre Speaking of, how does one go about muting a tag they see out in the wild? Say I was very uninterested in seeing #BumbleButts Tuesday in the firehose, how do I go from seeing the tag to actually muting it? (Only found option to mute the humans and definitely not what I am looking to do for specific topics)
@MediocreTheropod @evistre That's creating a filter. Go to your profile. Edit Me. Filter. Add filter. Save.
It's in the guide too.

Seems I have many more stored on my computer for days gone by, approximately how many bumble butts do you think I could subject yall to before I get put in timeout?
