I love the new activity here but some of my feed are posting on things I am uninterested in.
I have desired a topic follow for a long time(maybe with communities) but while I am waiting
How About a Topic Mute for People I Want to Partially Follow.
The Mute Button
How it Would Work
It could be a new button or an option when you mute someone you follow. The mute would hide anything with a certain tag(I really hate recipe post for instance). I suspect this is easiest to implement eth follow. Muted topics could be a field attached to anyone you follow. I think the reason it's so hard to mute topics is there is nothing connecting topics to users but there are connections between users.
Why Now?
Well now that everyone is posting more they are throwing a lot more subpar post out there to get the self vote. They may have moved away from the core specialty that I followed them for and are now posting photos recipes and other stuff I don't want cluttering my feed. Many are posting 10x a day(hmmm where does that number come from). A topic mute for those you follow should clean this up.
