Ability to hide posts that link to specific websites

Posted by joplin
Tags: suggestions

I'd be interested in a feature where I can have a list of top-level domains that I want to ignore content from. For example, I'm never in a position to watch a video when I'm browsing tildes. So I'd like the option to just not see any link to youtube.com or vimeo.com. Maybe I think all content posted to example.com is inflammatory click-bait, so I just want to ignore those links, too.

Would that be possible?

        Just FYI, you can access that feature by clicking your username, then "Settings", then "Define topic tag filters"... or by going here: https://tildes.net/settings/filters

          It's also available at the bottom of the sidebar on the home page and when you're looking at the topics in a group, inside a collapsed "Filtered topic tags" section.

    tildes.net##li:has(.topic-info-source[title="youtube.com"])
tildes.net##li:has(.topic-info-source[title="vimeo.com"])

    Haven't really tested this much, but you might also have to block youtu.be.

      :has() has zero browser support at the moment.

    This is definitely coming at some point, along with some other filters based on different attributes of topics. For example, every topic shows its "content type" (Video, Article, etc.) and it sounds like you'd be more interested in filtering out the Video type than doing filters on every individual domain.

    I had started some work on it a few months ago but it's been hung up for a while now. I hope to get back to it before too much longer, since I think it's a really important functionality to make it easier for people to find the topics they want to see (and avoid the ones they don't).

    But I have now added a comment mentioning the request to be able to hide specific domains as well.

    Again, that's beyond Tildes, but wasn't sure if you knew about its existence/availability.
