Curate Your DW Reading with Subscription Filters

[jesse_the_k]

More DW activity is great, and all this content increases the chance that I’ll miss something.

Subscription filters to the rescue!

Here's a public filter which contains all the Sherlock-Holmes-related communities and authors I know of here:

https://jesse-the-k.dreamwidth.org/read/sherlocks

Do let me know what I missed.

I also made a private filter for just the folks who post monthly or less.

1. Visit the manage my filters page

2. Name it—I chose exquisites

3. Deploy it: select it from the drop down menu at my reading page or from the navigation strip at the top of styled pages.

The drawback is Dreamwidth only shows the last 14 days. Thanks to my paid account I can browser earlier. I append

?date=2018-01-01

to the URL. Then page forward through the year.

Putting it together:

https://jesse-the-k.dreamwidth.org/read/exquisites?date=2018-01-01

Since I've set this private, you won't be able to read from that link.

Thanks for the introduction to filters, and the nudge to renew my paid account. I had been considering it, but I did go ahead and do it.

Perhaps I'm unreasonably annoyed that the one small feature change/bug fix I requested has never been done, but it makes me not want to pay them. (My posts default to access-only - that's the way I want it. But "everyone" is greyed out, apparently intentionally, which means I have to edit the post if I want to make it public, every time. *sigh* Default to access-only Does Not Mean disallow public!)

"Annoyances" are never "reasonable"

[jesse_the_k]

...and that's OKAY.

That would irritate me as well.

Did you know there's a command-line interface to DW? Don't know if there's a command that would do what you need, but

I didn't, thanks! I didn't see anything that would help in the documented console commands, and when I interacted with support about this years ago, they didn't mention anything either.

Suas entradas tem me dado muitas informações claras sobre os recursos do DW que eu não sabia existirem...

Thanks for your kind words!

They're mostly based on trial and error from using this place since 2009.

I am most proud of these three:
