Maybe bookmarking the post and remembering to get back there later as a workaround?..

When will someone create a wrep (web regular expression search and print)!?

Absolutely zero “interpretation” of what the user “really wanted”.

What am I missing?..

Maybe I should have been on Reddit first to really understand it.

Thanks. I’m figuring this all out as I go… never ben very much a social media user up until now because of the federated promise. Hope it delivers.

I am of the same persuasion… “link aggregator”, I would think, should be a place to “aggregate” links. In lemmy you have 4 fields: URL, Image, Title and Body. Never seen someone say lemmy is an image aggregator, for example. Body is for discussion (as in forums) and seems to be where the meat of the matter really is.

Actually, I would place the “Subscribed” button as another layer, or remove it completely since it might only make sense to filter subscribed communities… (does it?)

Also I would add a “New filter” option to the menu.

I understand this change would need a great deal of work to be implemented since to create a filter one would have to have access to several filtering options: add one or several communities to search in, add keywords (or hashtags - but, please, see @[email protected]’s answer) to include, maybe certain users…

Would it be realistic to implement some kind of language like: “keyword -unwanted AND (keyword OR keyword) AND community:!comunity@instance AND user:@user@instance …”?

Well… I thought of listing all posts related to technology (for example) grouping Linux, free software, open source… there are many communities dedicated to each of those. It would be useful to group them together for quick access.

I intentionally used a different font to give emphasis to changes. Also didn’t want to try and fail to mach the used font.
