The Markup has a post about "slow mode" at https://newsie.social/@themarkup/109394123059873872
The linked article has lots of info, including "...you can enable “slow mode” on the Mastodon web interface, which makes you click a button before more posts show up in your timeline rather than being overwhelmed by the never-ending firehose of tweets..."
BUT it doesn't walk you through *how* to enable it.
Sooo... (1/x)
@TappinLisa I would hate that. You're never going to be able to read everything so why slow things down and make it worse.
@RC Mostly to keep things from jumping around as I'm reading!
Go to your Preferences (click on the gear icon). In the "Appearance" section, under "Animations and Accessibility" you can choose "Slow Mode."
As new posts come in, they're hidden until you click on the space that says "x new items."
(caveat: I'm doing this on my web browser. I have no clue about how any of this works in apps!)
