Is there a way to block, silence, automatically set as read or ignored posts by topic / keyword?
I am not interested in Android related discussions at all. Can I somehow silence them?
Donât believe there is such feature in discourse, in sfos forum viewer you can probably add a simple IndexOf line to the part that appends threads to a list (or multiple), if all android discussions were tagged would be probably more reliable (or maybe even a category for android/appsupport relevant threads), you might end up missing some sfos relevant discussion that had appsupport etc in the title (like âhow to live without appsupportâ etc)
Of course there is! Just hit the âNormalâ button at the end of every thread, and you will find âMutedâ.
Well, itâs not automagic. Youâll have to do it on every ânot interestingâ thread.
The manual work is a bit of a pain, maybe if a tag existed and people used it (or trusted members in the community could tag threads, not sure if this isnât an option already with tweaking the base discourse settings) it would be pretty simple and much more reliable than just using a dumb wordlist, filtering all threads that have android in the title seems meh, âAndroid introduced X feature lets brainstorm how to get a better one on sfosâ⌠interesting thread gone (and 99% pure android threads will not have a easily discernible word in the title anyway). Pretty simple to implement, but doubtful usefulness
This forum isnât SFOS⌠itâs discourse software.
Itâs just a place to exchange ideas, you can discuss anything really, it was meant as an example thread title that will be culled by a simple wordlist/blocklist, maybe they are rare these days as we get a lot of normie spam, but these threads still happen from time to time, getting them filtered because of a single word would be pretty bad

Doing it manually is what I have been doing so far.
