I have a load of filters set up on my feed, notably I don’t want to see Trump or Elon.
Due to recent events, so much content is coming through that it is as if I don’t have filters at all.
If the text or title doesn’t include the key words, it can’t be filtered. All the screenshots or posts with jokes or bad titles can’t be filtered.
I think the only way proper filters could be achieved is with a separate ‘tags’ field that could be added to or voted on by community members.
This might all seem like a lot of effort, but feed filters are such a good feature that I think it would be worth it.
I don’t want unreasonable perfection for the filters, but the system seems too flawed at the moment.
I have no idea where this kind of discussion or decision would be made so I’m just throwing it out as a question here.
You are in luck! That feature is already worked on. https://github.com/LemmyNet/rfcs/pull/4
Amazing! I’m so excited.
