intermediate steps i see before we could implement your very flexible and smart idea , is something i've been thinking for busy.org, and very easy to do:
- tag Filters inside your Feed
With that, you can navigate on your feed (posts from ppl you follow) on a specific tag like #photography (with one or more tags) - Custom Feed: Create a feed, give it a name (like a Youtube Playlist name), add filters: tags/author/maybe keywords/.
With that feature, you could create a custom Feed called "MyBestFriend", with friend1, friend2, friend3, to only display their posts, and another custom Feed named "Photography", where you would add triggers for all posts in multiple tags related to photography #steemitphotochallenge #picture #travel
Awesome. I believe permanent tag filter in busy timeline can solve a lot of problems here however the process gets in the way since users should bother with filtering every time their interests change. Also tag filters in the main timeline doesn't show new posts from users we don't follow so both of you solutions are needed to be implemented to fix it. I don't think really doing it with smart feeds would take much more time since the ML algorithms are already available.
@ekitcho, I like how you're thinking! I don't wonder if it might be confusing to to be able to access a raw tag versus filtering your feed through a tag. But you're right, we need to get specific. Maybe it's a silly one but what about..
Being able to view other people's feeds?
There are lots of friends whom I really like on steemit...and I can view their following list, but wouldn't it be sweet to drop in on someone elses feed for a moment?
average length of comments
I don't know what level you could do this on, it might have to be onchain, or pre-processed by a server running steemd...but that would be pretty cool to filter a feed by posts that have longer average comments
multiple $$$ levels of trending?
what if you isolated a few levels of trending, like you could click on $5, $25, $125, $500+, and it would show you all the 'trending' posts that are around that reward level. part of the problem now it seems is that you can get whatever support you garner from your followers, but after that, your sources of fresh eyes are either resteems, or trending. Maybe this would help some of those smaller and inbetween posts get some fresh eyes, and it would be a great place for curators to scout too
sort by upvote and comment percentages?
so posts that have a really high percentage of upvotes/comments per views might show up higher in this sort
just a few thoughts
I like your ideas most.
thankyou swiss! I thought they were pretty good myself =)
