- Go to /settings/ux and select your "experience level" from 1-5 whether you consider yourself a newbie or an experienced dev. This will gently tailor content more to your level.
- Go to /dashboard/following_tags and raise the "weight" of the tags you would like to see more of. You can fiddle with this over time. I personally have #meta as my highest weighted tag because I really want to see when folks post about DEV.
Happy coding ❤️

Here are my top-weighted tags all in all.
Is there a way to opt out of / ignore certain tags? For example, if I want to see posts about
javabut notandroid?I set some a while back and wasn't really sure if it was working. What's the range of accepted values and how do they work?
I set a particular tag to 2.0 and seems like I still miss posts and occasionally still manually check the tag.
Amazing! Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the tips. You folks are the best.

The experience level selection for me is a bit weird, because I may be quite experienced in one topic, but not even close to understand anything on a different topic
so setting a generic "level" doesn't really make sense, atleast for me
Yeah that’s why it’s an emphasis on gently. It’s not going to radically impact your feed but will be a subtle indicator.
What are the upper bounds? Or is it a "in relation to each other" type of thing where we have our own scale?
Could I follow a tag I don't like (i..e #Career, #Productivity, etc) and give it a weight of zero to ignore it, since there are no "I dont want this tag" sort of thing? Would make my experience much smoother! :)
alrighty follow weight is probably the coolest feature I've seen
Thank you.
Is it available to explore 'All' tags feed (including the ones I am not following)?
I just don't know if it's available and I have to sign out or explore the website in incognito mode to do so.
There are great. Are there any other options to turn off seeing comments in the main feed? I think that's one annoyance for me.
Awesome, Thanks!!
I never even knew about the weighting, thanks for pointing this out. That will teach me to look around more!
