Suggestion: Filter topics by ones I've participated in?

Probably most appropriate for the "Activity" tab.

I would love to be able to click some kind of toggle that only showed topics that I've started and topics that I've commented in. Not sure how taxing this would be on the server, but figured I'd throw it out there for consideration. If it's been suggested before, sorry. No search function yet!

    Isn't that basically in your user profile (https://tildes.net/user/Tenlock?type=topic) already? Or do you mean being able to sort that and the topics you have commented in by activity as well?...

    Isn't that basically in your user profile (https://tildes.net/user/Tenlock?type=topic) already? Or do you mean being able to sort that and the topics you have commented in by activity as well? That could be a neat idea so that you can keep tabs on ongoing threads where you have previously participated.

          Cool thanks!

          Basically when I'm looking at the Activity tab, I specifically want to know which topics I've participated in. If a topic has new comments on it, I want to pop in and see how the discussion is going. The Activity page is full of topics with new comments on them, but if I haven't participated then I'm probably not interested in keeping up on the discussion. It could be as simple as putting a > next to participated topics, or something like that.

          It's a very particular request and not a big deal, so feel free to mark it as low priority and forget about it for years. It just crossed my mind last night and wanted to suggest it while I could. :)
