Turning off social side of MFP

Is it possible to use MFP to track food, exercise, etc. for me and remain friends with others, but to turn off the social side (News Feed)? I see where I can control what's posted on my News Feed from me ("Automatic News Feed Update Settings"), but need to quit seeing posts from others for now.

    Just don't log in? I mean log in, log your own stuff and then shut it down. I think you can ignore people too, but that is am awful lot of work to ignore every one of your friends and then un-ignore them later. Delete the app from your phone making it harder to log in, do your business and then gtfo

    u can avoid news feed if u use it on web by bookmarking .../food/diary then it take u straight there

    i think app defaults to newsfeed tho

    This is what I do, the app is *kitten*...I'm bookmarked to chit chat tho!

    Resisting scrolling is what I’ve been doing.

    Just make yourself a new account. All the cool kids are doing it.

    I have a great streak going and too much data to abandon MFP.

    If you don't have MFP friends, nobody's info will come up. So, you could drop any friends you have to accomplish that.

    Can you just turn off notifications in settings?

    Yea it is unfortunate there is not a mute function like on Twitter or IG. The only way I know of is to create another account with no friends (or just the few you want to bring over).

    I'm intrigued, why keep friends if you don't want to see any of their posts? If you want a blank newsfeed just delete your friends.

    get rid of all your friends. simple. then just go straight to diary and log your food. no need to look at feeds or ads or anything.
