    I don’t think I’m going to add this feature tbh, BUT

    I’m currently collaborating with the Interstellar devs to design a very powerful filter engine for both our apps. This will let you load in one or multiple filter files for complex filtering within the app. The specification we designed would allow you to write a filter that says

    IF post.thubnail.url has length > 0 THEN hide the post
    

    You can combine that with other checks

    AND post.community.name is in this list
    

    And the best part, these filters will be shareable with other users! You will be able to browse or optionally publish a filter you designed.

    Instead of building a dozen niche features like this, we can ship one very powerful filter engine that can handle many use cases. How does that sound?

        This is what the new extra compact posts look like. I can probably tune this a little more, but let me know what you think. That’s currently in beta. Idk if you’re using Google Play, but if you are, you can join the beta for immediate access.

        The filter system I described will take more time to implement. Probably a few months, but it’s going to unlock filtering that no other Lemmy/PieFed client currently supports
