# Filter your social feed by topic

> Choose what you want to see more or less often, then check what your rules catch.

_Darwish · 2026-11-05_

An account you follow for design tips also posts match reactions. You still want the design tips. Topic filtering gives you a more specific rule to try: show me more about design and less about match results.

## Write down what belongs in the feed

Choose a topic you want to make easier to find. “Usability testing examples” is easier to check against real posts than “work.” Then pick a topic you want to see less often, such as transfer rumours during a work session. Look for topic preferences on the platform or in the browser tool you use. Use the nearest available control and keep a direct route to any account you rely on.

## Check posts that fit two topics

A post about a football club's ticket checkout might fit both sports and product design. Read a few of the posts a rule catches before broadening it. If a useful one gets caught, narrow the rule to what actually distracts you. “Transfer rumours” leaves room for more than a blanket “sports” rule.

## Review the result on your next visit

Open the feed with a clear task. Can you find an example you would save or use? Are unrelated posts still getting in the way? Adjust one rule at a time so you can tell what made the difference.

Choosing the subjects you want to see is part of how BOSLA AI approaches feed control. Start with a real post you would keep and a real post you would skip. They make better examples than a long list of topics.
