I feel like steemit needs more features when it comes to how everything is organized here.
I think reddit still does an overall better job at aggregating information to the top. I feel like, all of the problems I have with steemit can be solved without having to make any big changes to the medium.
If I am not mistaken its possible for anyone to make a page that looks over the steemit blockchain.
I wonder if it makes sense to consider the idea of making an alternate steemit page that simply adds the features I would like to have here. For now I am going to just open up discussion on these ideas.
More options when it comes to organizing what I see on my feed.
- The ability to toggle what tags I see on my feed. (Think of it as a way to subscribe to tags)
- The ability to put people that I follow into custom lists that I can toggle visibility on.
- The ability toggle if I see resteems vs personal posts.
- The ability to sort posts based on earnings, chronological, most viewed and number of upvotes.
- The ability to see just people I am following vs the "front page"
Additional feature I have thought about for a long time.
- The ability to create channels (Very similar to sub-reddits but nobody is in charge of them, there will be no moderators.)
- Once a channel is created people can subscribe to that channel.
- Once you subscribe to a channel you will have the ability to apply a vote for that channel on any standard steemit post you desire.
- Once that vote is applied then anyone who sees the vote will have the ability to up or downvote that application. (Basically everyone has a chance to determine say how much that post belongs in that channel)
- When you look at a channel you will see all of the posts that have the highest upvotes for that channel.

I actually think that its entirely possible to make the above stuff happen just by using the existing functionality. the above things would go a super long way to making steemits content a lot more streamlined. I find it too difficult right now to really find the content that is relevant to me.
What do you guys think about this?
I think toggling resteems and filtering tags are basic functions that this site can't live without long term.
Good post.

On that note, I believe that resteems should require you to say something about it. That way it doubles as commentary about the instead of just clogging up the content on you feed.

I agree that currently steem can be a sea of noise and this gets worse as more people sign up. Like the ideas

yes indeed sir, these are great ideas. Im certain they will have to introduce some of these functions before they push any big promotional campaigns to the general public. The idea of channel creation is really fun, it would definitely make exploration more enticing
