Is it possible to have a filter that can remove resteemed posts from a person's feed? Sometimes I find someone that I would like to read a lot more of their work but have to sort through their resteems as well, which can make it quite an arduous task.
For me personally, I do not resteem very often (which I should and would like to more) because I feel that if anyone wanted to go back through my work, they would have to wade through resteems too. This is silly of course since not many people would look back past a day or two of my posts, if at all. I do for people though as it helps me get to know them better and watch them develop in different ways plus follow their trains of thought.
I also like to see what kinds of posts people I am interested in resteem too so I wouldn't be that keen to have a separate post/resteem feeds for people but a filter would probably work well. At least in my non-developer opinion.
It could also be used to filter other things or perhaps have a search to find certain types of content from a user. For example, if a person has several core content areas, it may be possible to search one of them and get a reverse chronological list returned.
This would of course also be handy for a user to search through others (or their own posts) to use as references or links for related topics or to find older content. Maybe a search by month as I am too old and my thumbs can't keep up with all the scrolling ;)
Is anyone else interested in this kind of filter/search function? Is it useful?

This feature was developed by @bitcoiner and submitted to the steemit.com/Condenser github repository but was blocked by @sneak: https://github.com/steemit/condenser/pull/819
@val said this in January:
But there is no implementation of this, 5 months later.
I fully agree with your points made, and I have resteemed zero posts on this account for the same reasons. I'd like to resteem, but not if it will clutter up the only listing of my own posts. Resteem filtering on profile pages is long overdue.

Thank for the info @pfunk :)
I am not a developer so... things take time? ;P

A solution was developed by a community member, submitted, and was almost ready to go, but it was blocked as a "distraction" and "rearranging deck chairs" [- @sneak]
I found the rationale to be lacking, as you can read in the github pull request comments.

I guess everyone has their own vision and preference for what is important for a community. Hopefully, in the end it is the community that benefits.

If you don't want to see the things that people resteem, then just unfollow those people.
Resteeming is a person choosing to repost in their own feed.

Why does it have to be absolute?

Well, part of it is because the way resteems are indexed is done in
steemdright now, and all of that code is being moved out of the p2p daemon (and into a Python daemon, incidentally) to support communities. Any changes we make to the current setup would get thrown away within 90 days.We're also going to revisit the design and UX of condenser in the next few months (mobile is the priority at the moment, but condenser is getting a facelift too) and the best way to integrate this desire from a UX perspective will be investigated.
Basically, I'm not sold on the idea that the feature represents the interests of the user doing the resteeming. They chose to put it in their feed, so anyone viewing their feed should see it.
Even if we decide that it's a UX win to break it out, it will need to be done in
hivemindand not insteemd.Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Thanks for the reply . Fair point about the feed and intentions of those who resteem. I am still desperate to see a filter on profiles though.

The reason I closed the PR at the time is because our team historically was pretty unfocused, and it's been an extremely important struggle for us to gain focus on the subset of things that we would like to work on that are critical for our success, given our limited resources.
Imagine a list of about 50 valuable things we could work on. We have to work on the 7 or 8 we have the team bandwidth to perform, and those 7 or 8 have to be selected based on what's most likely to help the platform succeed in the long term.
This means that many completely reasonable things to do will not be addressed this year, deliberately and by design, because they are lower priority than things like signup, retention, et c.
If we don't keep focus on the things we must do to grow and thrive, and continue to allocate our extremely limited developer attention on to "nice to have"s, our present opportunity would be squandered. It's a matter of prioritization and focus.

I would also like to see something like that. But this site is in beta and I read similar posts like this. There might be some improvements in the future.

Beta, beta I know... :)
These are just subtle reminders so the wants of users don't fall through the cracks and leave only the desires of developers. ;)

I have the exact same thoughs on this.
In the meantime if you use the app busy, when you look at someone's feed you don't see their resteems.

Uhmm interesting @eroche I didn't know about that either. Gotta check the busy desktop app closer.
On other hand, to complement @tarazkp wishes, I would tend to also wish that old posts from an author could be resteemed again and rescued resurrected from oblivion on someone else feed in order to gain some exposure & new fresh air revival of previously lost appreciation., since seems that this feature is not possible nor available by now.

Oh. I have never used it. Thank you very much for the info. Will look into it.

Glad that you write about this fact. I'm pretty new here and indeed is hard to have a look on someone's posts if they resteem a lot. Definitely, a filter on their blog will help. I'm thinking also on a filter on particular tags they used, in case you just wanna follow the posts from a domain you are interested in.

Yep.
I think it would also help get more resteems going too.

Indeed. Most people are not using the resteem functionality as their content moves downwards. It's not that they do not like what they are reading, but as you mentioned it will be tough for someone else to see a previous post. Hope the developers will find a suitable solution to make it more user friendly

Of course this may be a small thing for some, especially those that write current popular event stuff or what steem is doing.
For me personally, most of my kind of content could be read at anytime so may come in handy as the site matures.
Who knows what the plans are. I will just keep throwing ideas out to the steemit world.

There is always room for improvement, so sharing our thoughts it will make the platform better.
