@manton is it possible to tweak the way filters work especially now that we can import posts via an external feed? I have a category ‘Macro Posts’ where I use a filter to categorize all long posts with a title.

Can you add another condition to exclude long posts that contain certain other words, emojis, etc? For e.g. categorize posts all long posts with a title EXCEPT ones that contain “______” word/emoji
Yes. I have spent a good amount of time trying to figure out how to get my trak.tv feeds automatically going into a specific category on my micro.blog. I think maybe this is impossible at the moment? I thought that would be a straightforward thing, so I’m hoping I’m just missing something. The feed items don’t have any consistent keywords that I can use in the current filter settings.
Filters haven’t changed in a while. Best bet for something like this is hoping that external feeds always include a keyword or a domain name that can be checked.
