Recently, we added the ability to ignore users that you don't follow, so they don't appear in the external posts that come into your feed.

Today we are enabling the same thing for tags. On external posts, you can select tags that you would like to ignore. As a result, no external posts with that tag will appear in your feed.

Importantly, just like ignored users, ignored tags will appear in your feed if someone you follow uses that tag, or if they share a post with that tag. Like ignored users, ignored tags that end up in your feed are red.

Tags and users that you ignore can be seen in your control panel, which is reached by clicking your name in the upper right.

As always, feedback is welcome!

p.s. Tags have probably been the most debated function here on Hubski. It is very unlikely that this is the last word on them. Definitely feel free to share what you think about them, or any ideas regarding them in general.

mk: FYI, here's the post by astol that lead to this update:
