Easy way to see someone's posts excluding boosts.

There should be an easy way to see just someone's posts, not including boosts. I think the easiest way to do this might be to exclude boosts in the "Posts and Replies" section of a user's profile. We already see boosts in the "Posts" tab anyway, so I think it's unnecessary to also have them in "Posts and Replies."

hmm, sounds sensible tbh, but mastodon web doesn't do this and neither does tusky, so i'm not sure if this is behavior users wouldn't be very confused about.. i could, of course, include an option to disable this, but i'd like to provide a good out-of-the-box experience. hmmmm

Maybe have the default be the regular behavior then have an option to enable removing the boosts?

Hm, I always perceived the “Posts and replies” tab as “See all posts”. In this sense, it wouldn't be logical to remove boosts from that tab.

What regularly happens though, is that I want to see what somebody posted, not what they boosted or replied. However, I don't have a fitting idea for how to solve this either.

Perhaps long-press the tab's title to open a popup with an on-off switch? Not very intuitive though.

Another option would be to rename "Posts" to "Posts and Boosts", leaving it as the default, and add a new tab called "Posts" without boosts.
