feature : ability to filter out reshared posts from public stream

[zebulon-1st]

Hello,

When reading on .../public/ stream, seeing all these copies of reshared posts make the read long and a bit annoying. Also, this loads unneccessary datas in the browser cache and turn the browser display to begin to slow down.

It would be nice if we could have a checkbox somewhere -- at the top of this page would be a better place, or in the settings -- to filter out all the reshared posts from the public stream.

Anyway, they still be visible in the user page who reshared them.

I think this feature would be not too hard too be done (?)

Regards,

It's not quite the same request, but my suggested solution to the issue of there being too many reshares in the stream is to aggregate reshares by different people of the same post, so that each reshared post is displayed only once rather than separately each time it is reshared by someone. That was requested in #4219.

Yes. I red that post. It could be ok its way.
Chose the easiest to do for you.
Thanks. 🙂
