Ooh ooh! I can help with this one! Feeds > Discover New Feeds "Only Posts". You get a feed that's (wait for it) just posts

OnlyPosts excuse me.

That's great, but still doesn't do the thing I want, which is reposts from most of my feed but not from the people who use it instead of their like button.

On Twitter I would just mute retweets from those accounts and that would be great.

As of last year "it's gnarly to implement with backend, but everyone on the team is aware of how much people want the feature" 🤷

This is my #1 most missed feature from Twitter. I follow you, and would be fine seeing reposts from you, but can't, because I don't want to see reposts from my friends who repost 10x more than they post themselves.

I was led to believe that reposts were very important here because without an algorithm, if you don't post at the perfect time, your post shoots straight through the firehose & out to oblivion. So, reposts extend the attention span for interaction from those not tagged or without perfect timing.

I do rather prolifically repost stuff from my friends & content creators I follow, but I wouldn't characterize it or intend it as spam & I think it is generally appreciated by the people getting the reposts.
But I hope you get the feature you want; it's better to surgically mute than go nuclear😁
