Some instances and groups are very chatty (*gestures to /lemmyshitposts), so much so that they dominate the All page.
I knew that there would be a point that browsing /all would no longer be a pleasant or feasible experience, but I quite liked having a pulse on what everyone in the #threadiverse (that kbin.social federates to, anyway) are thinking. But right now it seems @memes is dominating everything.
I don’t want to fully block them from showing up in my feed, but i don’t want to let them full send either. Would it be feasible to add a feature in future releases to be able to adjust the algorhythm on the user-side that would allow for mutes, or deranking it in your feed, instead of outright blocking it?
It might be kinda hard to pull off, but I’ll see what I can do. I’m not sure if KES can be used to (easily) modify the post rankings, but I think randomly hiding them based on a factor you set could work well. So if you set it to 50% for @memes, it’ll hide half of the posts from there on average.
It’s not perfect, but I think it strikes the right balance between seeing every post and blocking it. I’m busy this weekend but I’ll create an issue on KES’s GitHub repo and someone might beat me to it.
That would be a totally fine workaround. So I guess the user would create a list of ‘attenuated communities’ or some such, and set a value for each.
This might be a bad suggestion, but would it be possible to do something like mute community for x hours? So until now reaches a timestamp, hide posts from that community (sort of like discords mute channel for x hours). That way people could be like “I’m done with memes for now, but want to see them when I wake up”
