"lane" streams to improve news categorizations

[goob]

There have been various discussions about filtering the stream using #tags. Here is a couple:

Improving and expanding hashtags usability

Current functionality of hashtags in Diaspora has several limitations. I’ll list them first (if you can come up with more - feel free to comment): User can only follow a straight list of tags (i.e. following is defined with logical OR). User can’t filter tags for not following (i.e. not to see some content which has them). Viewing options of followed tags in the UI are limited to either viewing all followed tags, or only one. Search is limited to one tag. Hashtags themselves don’t…

Feature: Tag Filtering (Old Diaspora-Pistos Feature)

Diaspora-Pistos had some interesting features on its fork. One of the more useful ones was the ability to exclude specific tags from the stream. How much work would it take to port this feature? Does Pistos code here need to be re-done in Backbone, or can we plug it in as-is? Relevant code parts: filters.html.haml tag_exclusion.rb Note: This discussion was imported from Loomio.

There are others. Hope they will help you.
