@manton An idea for the various Discover feedsā¦ Add a way to filter only posts made on Micro.blog. A lot of the categories are overrun by stuff from the āoutside,ā which makes it harder to discover people to follow. Just a thought.
@AlexWolfe @jim Wait, really? What posts are appearing from people you donāt follow? For Discover, yes, we have a system for clearing out the clutter but Iāve been so busy I havenāt had a chance to take care of it lately.

@AlexWolfe Weird. If you click on their profile, can you unfollow them? Itās possible they were on Micro.blog and then migrated to Mastodon, and the āfollowingā transferred with them.

@pratik @AlexWolfe Yes. If my guess is correct, thatās working as intended! If itās random users being inserted into the timeline, then something is wrong.

@manton Sorry, I was rushing this morning when I fired off the reply š. I was referring to the discover feeds, like this one on cats. Which includes posts from Tumbler, Bluesky and other feed sources. (Maybe because someone on Micro.blog followed them at some point?)
I was thinking that if you did include a way to filter them on Micro.blog to just Micro.blog accounts Iād like to include it as well on my client. Maybe a parameter on the endpoint? Or maybe if you have it as an account setting and I send a token to that endpoint it looks up that users setting?
Iād like it because when I find the Micro.blog timeline too much, I can switch to āShow posts but no repliesā for my timeline, but that leaves out the discover emoji feeds. Anyway, not a huge deal š
Also, I think there might be duplication issues in the discover emoji feeds. I saw 19 from āqueen-of-bad-opsec.tumblr.comā when I opened the cat one just now.
@heyloura Got it, thanks. Having a filter parameter makes sense to me. Iāll try to clean out the duplicates tooā¦ We havenāt been able to curate them as often as we should.
@agilelisa @heyloura Yeah, Iām going through the different topics now and a lot of junk has been accumulating. I think I will shut off non-Micro.blog users from appearing until we can regain control over it. Thanks yāall.
@manton late to this particular party - as part of the discover clean up - could we also create a way to separate mb users from ;the othersā in profiles. When you see someone with 250 followers that you donāt follow - but you ONLY want to follow MB users - you are forced to scroll through 250 records that are mostly NOT MB .. simply pushing MB users to the top would solve that as a first pass. Have raised this many times before - and generally it seems to be edge case john again - but I think would help the whole process for all.
@JohnPhilpin I agree with that. Iāve wanted to change the sorting so that recently active users are more likely to be at the top, which I think would address what you want too.
