Since most people don't bother with "Trending" or "New" and rely mostly on their "Feed" I think a more desirable Tag would be able to compile voting from those you follow. Like 'Hot' being most voted on in 24hrs, among the people you follow. I have no idea how difficult that would be on the programming end, maybe it's not feasible. Or not necessarily the most voted on but like just most popular among those you follow.
Let's say you follow 10 people, if 5 of them voted on this article (irregardless of rewards) it would appear in the "Hot" / "Peer Trending" Tab. From a user perspective, I'm much more interested in the posts that are resteemed by people I follow.
Speaking of resteems, people really get annoyed when they go to check out someone's feed and see nothing but resteems and they have to scroll to find the user's own posts. I think Busy use to show only people's posts and not resteems. A way to quickly toggle between a wall of the user's own posts and one that includes resteems would be great.
(maybe this already exists with the 'more info' steem
pluggin, but I don't use chrome)
I agree on the HOT tag being most voted on as a sort method in your "my feed" that could be great.
Second I would agree as well, I think if you have a My Favorites Tab and within it it is seperated by favorite tags and favorite followers. then if you select either it would list what content is hot based on votes. different ways to sort the aggregation of your content.
I did have the toggle on/off feature for only you as a user but i think you're right to have the toggle present on another users page as well to turn off their resteems and look at their posts. Great stuff.
the chrome plugin doesnt do it.
Conclusion: agreed there needs to be better filtering for sorting content based on authors i follow and tags i prefer. My next post is discussing the top navigation tabs and their behaviors for sorting etc. Ill keep you in the loop. Thanks for this.
