I’m not a fan of outright blocking certain communities and would rather have a kind of “relevancy-factor” or “weight” with which i could tune the frequency of seeing posts from certain communities. A factor of 0 would be the same as blocking a community. 1 would be normal.

I am not familiar with the exact method with which posts are displayed in “Everything” or the ordering thereof. But I’m sure it’s taking the up votes into account. A relevancy factor of 0.5 would treat a post with 1000 up votes as if it had 500 and there for position it lower.

This way highly up voted posts from certain communities would be able to appear.

    I’d guess that that’s something the server has to do since sync can only show the posts in the order the server delivers them (that’s why if you hide a lot of posts you sometimes have to “open” the 2nd or 3rd site of the FrontPage)

    If you have a post in a community with a weight over 20 then that post will only be sorted into your FrontPage after you loaded the site that post was on originally

    Same as a post with a weight of 0.1 - it will always be on the bottom of your currently loaded page whatever that page ist

      Hm right. Ok I understand. So that wouldn’t work like i thought it would. It could sort clientside, but that would have kind of “quantization errors” regarding pages. hm
