A few days ago we added domain pages. These enabled us to see all posts that link to a specific domain.
Once we added this feature, the obvious question arose: Shouldn't we be able to follow and ignore domains, just like users and tags?
Now we can.
Simply put, you can now follow a domain, and all posts with that domain will appear in your feed. Conversely, you can ignore a domain, and all posts with that domain will not appear in your feed.
For example, if I follow 'wired.com', all posts that link to 'wired.com' will appear in my feed. If I ignore 'wired.com', I will never see posts that link to 'wired.com' in my feed.
In all respects, following or ignoring a domain works just like following or ignoring users or tags.
It's our hope that this added flexibility will help everyone get the Hubski experience that they want.
As always, feedback is much appreciated!
I really like both of these ideas, they seem like a logical progression from users and tags. If I follow say, Wikipedia, do I also receive posts from the mobile version of it?
How do I actually follow a domain. The choice to follow or unfollow a domain (say text) does not come up for me when I click text and get a list of recent text posts. The choice to follow or not follow does come up when I click #text - but that is a hashtag, not a domain. I await your reply. (Edited.)
I don't think "text" was something we considered a "domain" but rather a type of post, like "image" or "video". You can always click on them and it will pull up the most recent. I can understand your request, I love seeing text posts as they are almost always original content, which I appreciate.
