Content on the Home tab

submitted by SierraKiloBravo from self.SaidIt

Is there a way that a user can control what appears on their Home tab? A new and high traffic sub has come on board in recent days and 9 out of 10 posts on my Home tab are from them (All is quite similar).

Is there a way to filter out particular subs? I like to browse the random posts on Home or All when I am up to date on my Subscribed tab, but at the moment it is post after post of things from that sub that I have zero interest in.

Hey man. Nope, /s/home has no easy user control, it's essentially /s/all minus /s/ads. It probably shouldn't exist, it's more confusing than it's worth. The spammers don't listen and never post to /s/ads.

If you manually visit urls like this, you can accomplish your filtering (the dash being minus, for remove sub):

https://saidit.net/s/all-Ice_Poseidon2-Incels/new

https://saidit.net/s/home-Ice_Poseidon2-Incels

We have 'block sub' functionality on our roadmap which seems like a good fit for things you have no interest in.

Also, for any new users reading this, the content of the homepage itself (https://saidit.net), is configurable in your preferences. It can be subscribed or home or all.

Ahaaaa thanks for the info, makes sense! Also a good little trick re adding minus in the URL.

Great stuff. It's nothing against a particular sub, there are just some things I have zero interest in and it would be nice to filter it out. I am happy to be a crash test dummy for this if you need a testerer.

    Agree, this should be priority #1 ATM.
    I am glad that all subs are included by default in the home tab. But because we are bound to have subs that are disproportionately popular (especially in this growth period), we are going to get the home tab clogged by topics that don't interest us (or offend those with thinner skins). Eventually, there probably should be a tab with only subs to subscribe to, but that is less important right now.

    Another thing that can be done is turning off the NSFW option. That got rid of most of what I didn't want to see without having to change the home tab. It'll only work for one of the new communities though.
