Yeah, another way we could do it would be to combine filters with "and" or "or" but it's inherently a confusing problem. Hopefully as people build cool algorithms other non-technical people can just bookmark and use them without having to DIY

ah, that is an interesting idea using logic operators on multiple filters but it's a lot more data intensive than for example allowing a `!` meaning "exclude"
The feeds spec already supports set operators, it's just not built into the ui
well i would expect as a reasonable database dev you get the problem of no negations but maybe you should have been more vocal?
Oh, I do. The `difference` operator is very wasteful. But I think it's worth having the expressivity if some bulky service wants to implement it. Other implementations can either churn through resources or choose to show an error instead
Yes, I think feed wizardry is sort of like AI prompt writing. Hopefully will be some cool stuff happening in feeds as it grows. Feeds almost needs a proper dedicated page of it's own with recommendations, ability to like (and zap) them.
I was wondering if I'm you've checked out the Bluesky feeds management section. I know Bluesky is a dirty word here lol, but their feeds section is very good and worth stealing from (imo).
I hadn't, but it looks very similar to what I'm building under "manage feeds":
I'm planning to add the ability for people to bookmark feeds, and then I'll show rank by web of trust and show people who have bookmarked a given feed.
