Advanced filters

Whitelist filter

Include only posts that contain one or more specified keywords.

How It Works:

Add Whitelist Keyword: Enter the keyword(s) using the "Add whitelist keyword" option.
Apply To: Choose which parts of the post should be filtered, whether it's the title, description, link (URL), or image URL.

Examples:

Title/Description. If you whitelist "Bitcoin" and apply the filter to the title and description, only posts that include "Bitcoin" in either their title or description will be displayed.

URL. If you whitelist "example.com" and apply the filter to the link, only posts with URLs containing "example.com" will appear in your feed.

Blacklist Filter

Automatically exclude posts that contain any of the specified keywords.

How It Works:

Add Blacklist Keyword: Enter the unwanted keyword(s) using the "Add blacklist keyword" option.
Apply To: Choose which parts of the post should be filtered, whether it's the title, description, link (URL), or image URL.

Examples:

Title/Description. If you blacklist "sponsored" and apply the filter to the title and description, any post containing "sponsored" in those areas will be removed from your feed.

URL. If you blacklist "example.com" and apply the filter to the link, posts from URLs containing "example.com" will be hidden.

Automatically Hide Older Posts

Automatically hide posts that exceed a specified age.

How It Works:

Enable the Feature: Turn on the "Automatically hide posts older than" option.
Configure the Time Period:
- Choose the unit of time (Days or Hours).

- Posts that are older than the specified time frame will be hidden from your feed.

Example: If you set the parameter to "7 Days," any post older than 7 days will automatically be hidden from view (you can show it manually from filters), ensuring that your feed only shows recent and relevant content.
