Little known feature on Mastodon. Did you know you can change the audience of boosts so they don't appear on the federated timeline, or if you want, don't appear on your public profile to non-followers?

Turn on "Show confirmation dialogue before boosting" in Preferences > Appearance, then just click the little globe or padlock icon next to Boost to change the audience.

Edit: This is on the web interface, apps will obvs differ.

Confirmation dialogue for boosting a post, on a post of mine about marginalia. The original scope is unlisted but it gives a drop down menu to change who it's boosted to. Followers only is highlighted.
