You know, I had an idea for another keywords filter for feeds. It works in reverse. You type in keywords you want to see in posts and it then makes you a feed comprised of posts of that nature.
You’d probably end up seeing very few posts, though. Rather than filtering the timeline it might work best as a “notify me when posts with these keywords appear” function.
Well depends on the keywords. If one was to make a feed for Trump it would come up a lot. But the idea would be you could combine multiple keywords, so you might have a dozen or so.
Also, consider switching to Piefed to be able to use the built-in keyword filter. I haven’t seen US news since using it.
Along with the newcomers comm I’m thinking about making those as default comms that new people are subscribed to.
Gotta balance out the doom.
Good idea!
Done!
Thanks!

That would be nice
@rimu@piefed.social is this something hypothetically possible?
Sure.

Doesn’t mastodon have that? You type in a keyword and then you add it as a “user.”
