RE: Steemit Feed Filter Proposal Rough Draft. People I follow who post too much are preventing me from seeing people who I WANT to see! But i don't want to un follow, maybe the feed should show us posts from people we interact with most?
Yes. The current setup of Steemit's main site is very lacking.
I am not sure how far along they are in improving the interface.
Some things we need to see implemented before it can becomre more useable to the average person.
Tags, tags right now you have to search in a custom google search bar. If you search for something a lot of the time that "tag"won't show up, what will show up is someone's post with that tag in it. So you have to click on that post, then you can click the tag. A way I found around that is to click into any tag, and replace the part in the webaddress bar with what you want. That is a very basic thing that should have been fixed awhile ago.
Second thing is yes substeemits would be great, but then we couldn't tag things. It would be very weird. Imagine if reddit let you use tags and also let you keep the subreddits. Not sure how that would turn out. Very confusing Iwould imagine. What takes precedence when searching? The tag or the subreddits "tags". Youtube lets you have custom tags for your YT channel and you can have hundreds of words, maybe something like that that directs people. I dunno! hehe.
third, we need a less laggy interface on here. When I open up my wallet it lags. When i open other peoples' it lags too, especially larger steemians.
Fourth, image linking doesn't always pull the image in. I don't usually download a picture and drag and drop it into my post. What I do is copy and paste a link to that picture. A lot of the time on my mobile this doesn't work. It has the link there but doesn't load the picture, even though the link is directling to the picture, and yes Iam using the insert link picture tool.
Just some things Inoticed!
I believe that Tags should not take precedence in any case, much like Reddit. The idea is, like in Reddit, you just go to the subreddit and find the latest upvoted posts. You won't have to rely on search to find content that is relevant to the subreddit.
I guess it's hard to implement that without changing the whole interface on Steemit. I'm trying this substeemit idea as "updated posts" like what @ocd and @curie are doing, but so far it doesn't seem to be working.
Or maybe there needs to be more people being aware that there are more accounts other than @ocd trying to find valuable content and put it together thematically in one place. I'm still trying to find my way around here. It's hard to get feedback, not as easy as a reddit question that you post on a thread. Maybe chatrooms can be a solution to discuss that substeemit idea, we'll see.
theres going to be ALOT of improvements made with our tag system and because were decentralized and get to change things more organically unlike facebook or twitter we will end up getting to create some really cool hashtag organizational tools and systems to reorganize everything alot better
