There's an excellent Masto tip by @JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange quoted below.
To clarify a bit, you can mute conversations on other people's posts if the posts appear in your notifications. There are two scenarios where this isn't possible and the tip is needed:
- If you follow someone and they reply to a person you also follow, you will see their entire conversation without notifications. This tip lets you hide it.
- If you're seeing the same post boosted many times, you can use this tip to hide it.

A lesser known Mastodon pro tip:
Want to mute a conversation, but the mute conversation button isn't appearing on the post?
The only way you can mute a conversation is on a post you have made in the conversation.
But the secret part - Say you want to mute it without actually participating in the conversation:
Reply to a post, set the visibility to "Private Mention", remove everyone's username from the post. Post it.
Then you can click "mute conversation" on THAT post, and it silently mutes you from the conversation.
