   Filiters are a good way to customise your timeine on here. They let you automatically CW or completely hide posts with certain words, phrases or hashtags.

   To create a filter on Mastodon:
   1. Log in through your server's website (some apps also let you create filters)
   2. Click ⚙️ Preferences > Filters (on mobile click ⚙️, then ☰, then Filters)
   3. Click Add New Filter
   4. Choose your settings, then click Save New Filter

   There are lots of questions answered about filters at https://fedi.tips/filtering-your-timeline-to-hide-posts-on-mastodon

     Just FWIW ... they don't work on the # Explore page.

     @gsymon @feditips It should be fixed in v4.2.0-beta1.

     Fix filters not applying to explore tab #25887 https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25887

     @feditips You don't get this kind of customization on other feeds. Especially the expiration feature. That's a great addition.

     The filters aren't specifically for hashtags, they're for words which may or may not be in hashtags.

     They would have to build a separate hashtag system to have a filter icon next to hashtag follow icons.

     On the web interface, you can follow a hashtag if you click on it and then click an icon in the next picture.

     BUT you can not filter it by clicking on an icon! And THAT sucks!

     Please #Mastodon !!!! Add a filter icon next to the follow icon!
