Ah sorry to hear, that sounds really annoying

Yeah, can see why someone would want their tag removed if the muting isn't working.

Discourse has just added Fediverse support too, so this is another option for groups.

@ahaldorsen

Restrictions on who can follow you do not directly affect the visibility of your posts.

Post visibility is only affected by the visibility settings of your posts. More info on these at https://fedi.tips/who-can-see-my-posts-in-mastodon-how-do-i-send-dms-in-mastodon

The only way restricting followers affects visibility is if you make posts with "followers-only" visibility and also restrict who can follow you, which indirectly affects who can see your followers-only posts.

I'm not sure what Mastodon's in-house groups situation is.

Mute conversation does usually work, but unfortunately most of the apps don't have it as an option, which is why you have to go on the website. I think that's why a lot of people are unware of it.

" where the same one just kept coming up despite me hitting mute."

...aahh okay, that sounds like a bug. If it happens again might be worth reporting?

@nazokiyoubinbou

It generally works, so it's worth doing. If you start getting notifications from a different branch of the thread you can do it again on notifications from that branch.

Are you getting notifications from a thread that you don't care about? Do you want to stop those notifications?

You can do this by using Mastodon's "Mute conversation" feature:

1. Log in through your server’s website or web app
2. Go to a notification you’ve received from the thread you want to mute
3. Click ⋯ on the notification and select "Mute conversation"

No one will know you've done it, and it will only affect notifications from that thread.
