    Would be nice to be able to create subscription sets and switch between them. Sometimes I want to look at news, other times music or whatever, and sometimes everything together.

    A short visual guide explaining new users how to remove most of the ‘noise’ in the feed. Aka, how-to use the Home feed to only see specific contents the user is interested in, and how-to use the blocking/filtering tools to remove whatever and whomever one is not interested in reading.

    It would help make their first experience even better. And maybe encourage them to stay.

    And maybe polls. Someone was asking about online polls yesterday.

    I would like some manual control over how often I see a community in my “hot” feed (or any other feed). Some way to manually “down-weight” some very active communities. (And “up-weight” niche communities if they are very relevant to me.)

    Basically when I join a very active community (like !dach@feddit.org) it will replace half of what I currently see in my feed, and I fear to miss the more niche communities that have one or two posts per week and few voters. Currently my only option seems to be to unsubscribe again and use a bookmark to check it. (Or to create a private feed with all the high-traffic communities, as someone else commented here - thanks!)

      I would love to see the trust cafe thing where you can weight everything from 0 to 100 with zero being block and 100 being subscribe and everything having a default of 50. people, communities, domains. all can be weighed and its weight can effect a feed that takes it into account. Your weight does not effect anyone else and they don’t see it. Its just for you.

        A yes it would make sense for everything you can block/subscribe, but I guess 80% of the value is to “1/4 subscribe” or “4x subscribe” a community. I’m hesitant to block a whole domain or user, but I would probably have downweighted a few by factor 4 if I could.

        I like how Kagi (the search engine) does it: you can set a domain to (block, lower, normal, raise, pin) from the search results page. It’s one of their most loved features. (Probably the five levels are a better UX choice than a slider or a number entry. My guess is that they search the first 100 results or so normally, and then reorder/filter according to preferences.)

          it should be like you set to to 40 and see it 20 times less often while setting to 60% would be 20% more often. I mean you still want to take into account maybe other things you filter or select like recent or active or such. basically the views we already have but then it will push down or pull up ones you rated but 0 being never show. honestly 100% is going to be just put to the top relative to your view. I mean it should not push old posts from communities when you are looking at recent.

    I would like it if the front end allowed quickly hiding posts.

    Right now it’s two clicks deep, and then the whole page refreshes.

    I have always felt that HIDE is a very essential part of a proper system like this. It’s the most neutral way you can interact with something, you don’t want to give or detract from votes, you don’t even want to look at it. And in today’s content fire hose, we need this!
