It would be nice to be able to assign a priority to interests.
For example:
Priority 1 - Alert: Any post that matches this interest is always at the top and highlighted. For me, this would be news about projects I am or was involved in (e.g. Dassie, Codius) or things where there isn’t much happening but I care a lot if there is (e.g. Pebble). This feature would be more useful if there was also a way to make interests more precise.
Priority 2 - Important: Posts with these interests are more likely to be featured prominently
Priority 3 - Regular: The baseline
Priority 4 - Casual: Only show me posts about these interests if there isn’t much else going on
Great suggestion, I definitely feel the same way about some of my interests. I’ll first think about making interests more precise and then let’s see about something like this
