I think the front page algorithm should show more newer posts.

    Tried browsing new, felt like wading through sewage. Using the FOSS app, so no way of blocking saidits. If I see one more ice_posiedan spam, I won't be held accountable for my actions.

      /u/magnora7 is ready to pull the trigger on this change, keep bugging him and maybe make a post about it.

      This feature is up to you, d3rr. I'll let you decide, I'm on the fence about it now, and I can see both sides of the argument to add this feature or not add it

      it's a tough one but this guy made a good argument about how it cripples people trying to updoot in /s/all/new and thus maybe the whole site.

      How about we start small and add a blurb to that one listing only about how you should click 'mute sub' if you are seeing too much of a sub you don't care about?

      I verified that IP2 and GC still appear and are searchable on the https://saidit.net/subs pages. So if we do want a full disappearance from /s/all they are still kinda publicly here.

      Okay that sounds like a great and easy solution. I'd be 100% down for that. Just right above the first listing or something. Not sure the best way to accomplish though in the code though.

      I don't mind them being on the subs page, the goal would not be to disappear them if we changed things. If we made the change, the goal would simply be to make /new more usable so we then get a better front page, instead of scaring everyone away from /new lol. But I can see the merit to leaving it as-is too, I honestly don't mind either way. Totally up to you.

        It sucks that content floods /new

        That's the whole reason I'm talking about it, and I even said that in my previous comment.

        /u/d3rr, this is the problem.

        I made [a post about this[(https://saidit.net/comments/25dv) a while ago then got confused on how to respond since you had a different experience from me. ice_posiedon2 is blocked from the front page in hot, but still shows up in new despite me blocking it.

        [–][deleted] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

        IP2 should still show for everybody at /s/all/new and /s/all/comments unless you mute it. Does your IP2 mute show here https://saidit.net/subs/mine/muted ?

        Edit: I think there's a disconnect here between 'block sub' and 'mute sub'. I think block is a RedReader app feature only, and does not affect the web site or even get stored here. Likewise, 'mute sub' does not appear in the app whatsoever.

          In the same way muting a sub on the main page didn't affect the app.

          Muting is supposed to affect the app. I think it does, my /s/all/new in the app is free from IP2.

          Well we're not making any changes yet, and the change would be to help everyone outside of these big subs.

          You don't see the "mute sub" option?

          I've been trying to browse new and respond to good discussion posts but another user was right that it's most filled with ice_posiedan shit. But I'll keep slogging through to hopefully boost good content.

          You can mute IP2 and whatever else doesn't interest you for a more streamlined experience.

          I'm almost scared to ask - what is the ice poseidon thing all about?

          [–]Girlwiththeraventat 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

          I honestly have no idea. I've never gone to that sub just seen it on /new. It's very active though.
