Bringing an issue I just created here for exposure, at the very least: Ability to disable/select external feeds.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com You can already select external feed sources. There is a default that points to feeds.twtxt.net - I apologize as I’ve kind of let it go a bit out of control, it needs cleaning up and a lot of “garbage” removed. I’ll try to do that this week some time and clean it all up. Really it should just be “high quality” external feeds, not junk.

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Disabling is easy, we can do that. Selectively picking though, I’m not sure what you mean now? 🤔

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com So you don’t find subscribing to RSS/Atom and Twitter feeds useful at all? 🤔 Or do we just need to clean this shit up 🤣

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Sorry I’m still waking up 😅 Also I can’t see that as I think the /feeds view itself is an authenticated view. Can you screenshot it? 🤔

This is what my pod’s Feeds view looks like for External Feeds and towards the end =>

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Is there something we can do about it besides just nuking the feature, disabling it or otherwise? Is this a good use-case for a search box to find interesting feeds to subscribe to? 🤔 – As opposed to a potentially large never-ending / scrolling list? 😂

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Sure I understand 😅 It’s a “convenience” thing, so if you don’t find it useful that’s fine, I do, and I think a few other users do too, granted it does need a bit more work to be more “friendly” and “prettier” (working on both!)

But yes we’ll add a --disable-feed-sources option no worries 👌
