Dailies

Since we've now accumulated several automated daily bulletins, I've applied a tweak in Cosmos where those are sorted to the bottom of the list (of each day). This should make the human-written content stand out better.

Hi! a bit late to the party, but: is there a way currently to "filter out" these automatic posts?

I'm not sure if "show discussion threads only" is supposed to do that, but it seems that, right now for example, today's posts (without replies) are not showing there, so I guess it only shows "posts with replies" ( on the other hand, I guess that's what conversation should be)

if that's not doable right now... could it maybe be added?

regards!

+1 to @jmcs's suggestion, that's a great idea if possible.

The way I've implemented filtering is very rudimentary, but I agree adding a mode for "no automated posts" seems worthwhile.

It's not a super-big-deal, but I'm using offpunk and cosmos is one of my "subscription" sources. I checked today, and some of these images sites are taking hundreds of mb's in my hard drive. If I could exclude them, while keeping Cosmos, it would be great.

I added these two filter pages:

โ€” All posts without automated ones

โ€” Recent posts without automated ones
