Recently I started following a prolific account that advises Mastodon followers to put them on a list and then exclude the list from the normal timeline. I wanted to do something similar in Friendica using circles, channels and channel frequency settings.

I added them in a new circle. That works fine.

My normal timeline is 'Latest posts', but I can't create a channel based on that. There is however 'Network' which I think is similar, so I used that. It seems to use 'Latest creation' sorting instead, but that's ok for now.

I set the account's channel frequency to never show in a channel (last option). They still show in their circle, so that's great.

I found I have to go to 'Settings' -> 'Display' -> 'Timelines' to actually enable the new channel for it to show up. Now I can see the new channel, great!

But, the prolific account still shows in the channel, so my experiment failed. Could this be because they always use reshare (boost) to fill their feed and maybe reshares aren't taken into account when applying the channel frequency?

How else can I achieve this?

Yeah. We only look at the original author and not the one who reshared the content.

Ok, thanks for the reply. So it also wouldn't work for Friendica groups, I guess.

I've thought of another work-around: creating a new account on my server and follow them from there. Then switch accounts to see that timeline. My normal saved hashtag searches should surface anything I want to see under my normal account.
