I've long wished for a 'filter' feature for the hn feed -- namely the old trend of web3 slop -- but with little else than keywords to filter, it would likely be tedious and inaccurate. Ironically, I think with AI/LLMs it could be a little easier to analyze.
one technique i've found useful is i don't click on the link if i'm not interested.
it's very effective.
and there's even a "hide" link.
It’s one reason I hoped lobste.rs had taken off. All posts are tagged and you can filter out by tag.
