I apologise for the negative post, as it's not usually like me.
I've done a great job of filtering out the non-English posts, and even most of the vulgarity. Now, I need to do something about the constant Marxist/Communist/Leftist junk in my timeline. I didn't join so I could be your comrade and commiserate on the evils of capitalism, or talk about people getting killed, or on the feminist front, how bad men are, or on the race front, how bad white people are, or how good or bad this politician is, or whatever people want to complain about this week! Where are the normal people who post things about pets or animals in general, gardening/plants, their daily lives, good food or drink, clothing, music, theatre, going to interesting places, good times with friends, interesting discoveries, etc? I won't go back to Facebook because of inaccessibility, but at least my timeline there was pleasant! Perhaps, I just need to review my friends and make sure that those whom I want to see more often have higher priority or some such. I'm adding some tags that probably don't belong here, in the hopes of attracting those who share some of my interests. I wrote an introduction and pinned it to my profile for those interested.

in reply to Georgiana Brummell • •While users (at least on friendica.world) don't have advanced filtering options, I was able to solve myproblem. I went back to the Friendica site, and then to contacts. I clicked on each one, and in most cases, I changed the channel setting so that I would see all posts. for the ones that I really don't want to miss anything from, I changed the notification so that will be notified for each post the contact makes. On TweeseCake, this gives me three options. I could either read the Home timeline as always, switch to notifications, or switch to Mentions. I don't know why new posts are appearing in Mentions without anyone tagging me, but ah well. The last wo options will focus on the contacts whose posts I want to see the most. In all cases, but especially the second and third, I have eliminated the types of posts I don't wish to see from anyone. It took a long time, but my timeline is now clean and pleasant.
