I tweaked the home timeline filtering a bit yesterday and with the observations overnight, I can say it is mostly a success 😛

What works? Again, my filtered home timeline was about 50 posts but my actual timeline was around 200+. So it is helping me keep my home timeline cleaner/clearer.

What didn’t work? Well, turns out that the post fetching on Tusker goes a little wonky if the whole fetched batch is filtered out. This appears to be a UI bug which doesn’t take the filtering into account since I added a new option yesterday to not totally hide filtered items but to show a tiny row indicating an item was filtered out. Then the UI works fine. Maybe I’ll spend the weekend trying to figure out where the bug is.

But for the moment, seeing what is filtered out visually is kind of useful since I can see which hashtags/users generate the most content that’s filtered out and consider if perhaps I should organise things differently etc.
