Description
Browsing your timeline shows replies which are often nonsensical shown out of context. Not to mention that being in reverse chronological order makes them even more unintelligible.
The option to hide them from the Home timeline (showing only the first post in the thread with a reply count indicator) would let users decide if they want to click/tap on it to display all the posts in the conversation from oldest to newest.
Note: I know Lists can hide replies but that would require adding your entire following list to it one user at a time and keeping it updated every time you follow someone new.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by tracing how the Home timeline renders replies and identifies posts in a thread; confirm how Mastodon timeline data is represented before choosing an entry point. Done means users can hide replies, see the thread's first post with a reply count, and open the conversation in oldest-to-newest order.
