I use a variety of clients from the official website, to tusky to elk and i haven't found a way to show only the content of the accounts i follow. All "Home" feeds additionally contain information i haven't directly subscribed to.

How does this work?

Boosts are marked as such and recognizable, the posts i am seeing are common posts from accounts i don't follow. Here in the middle is an account i don't follow, at the bottom is a boosted post. The feed is my home fed in Elk, it is the same on the website.

The posts i was seeing appeared through the hashtags i am following! Totally forgot about those!

Ah, yes! That’ll explain it.

I use Ivory on iOS and it puts the hashtag above the post so I know it’s a post from a hashtag I follow! Quite a helpful feature.
