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.
