i see a lot of news about australian politics, news of seattle, darmstadt, brazil, … all places where i don’t live, where the posts aren’t relevant to me. it would be cool to be able to tag posts/communities with a geographical location so i can easily filter which posts are / aren’t probably relevant to me. in one setting in my profile, instead of having to block each community individually (there’s hundreds of them at this point)
Wouldn’t it make more sense to just have geo-based communities for that? Like ‘australian-politics’ or ‘seattle-news’? The functionality is already there it just isn’t being used.
the point isn’t to sub to communities that are physically close to me, but to not get recommendations about locations that are very clearly not relevant to me.
The “all” feed has a lot of those, so it’s tedious to browse. But if i stick to subscribed communities, i never find new communities, which is also a problem.
