Remove "Filtered" notifications in feed #1245

Closed Monque27 closed 1 year ago

Monque27 commented 1 year ago

Pitch

I would like to see the removal of the "Filtered" notification in the feed.

I have two suggestions:

  1. Turn off the notification all together
  2. Make it available with a toggle, but make it more informative (e.g. "Filtered via text filter for 'Elon'")

Motivation

I can't see the point of it - there is no information (such as which filter is active) and nothing to click on if you want to peek at the filtered content. It just takes up screen real estate.

My reason for filtering stuff is mainly that I don't want to see it - but in the case illustrated in the attached pic, it's taking up most of the view.

You can already do this -- select "Drop instead of hide" when you create a filter. It'll be like the content was never there.

...And there it is. Thanks!
