Seems strange that I've had to ignore a whole bunch, and only specifically followed a few?
(Due to post volume, I'm just reading global, at this point.)
You are only using global and thereby seeing EVERYTHING on Hubski. Use your feed if you want content specific to what/who you are following.
Also, if you want a fire-hose of content then Hubski isn't where you want to be. Things move more slowly here and also, we tend to have conversations that can last days, weeks and even months. Dive in to a tag that interests you and go back through older submissions. Just because it says "submitted a week ago" doesn't make the content any less engaging.
