Making Feeds: Custom Logic Requests

demonstrates common logic requested for custom feeds

ll logic is shown using graze.social nodes. Posts for testing the provided logic works as expected are included, but may not return the expected results if you have other logic in the feed definition.


How to remove all links?

not just link embeds, but also links only in the text?

Inside an "all of these" logic node: regex node looking for posts where the facet features uri is missing \. (a period symbol) and an "any of these" logic node. Inside the "any of these" node: an embed missing link node (which looks for links that have embeds) and a regex looking for post where the link card url contains ".gif?" (gifs can look like links, so it's ok if it has an embed link *if* that is a gif link)\

Test posts - these should fail (be excluded):

Counter test posts - these should pass (be included):

This logic set is available as a custom node in graze.social - just search "Exclude All Links" under the 'custom' tab in the feed editor.

Exclude links in quote posts

don't want posts that quote posts with links either? add this logic. in graze.social, this requires using the JSON view of the feed definition.

"All of these" logic node with "exclude all links" custom node and a regex node that looks for posts missing a period in the hydrated_metadata.quote_post.record.facets[*].features[*].uri field. This field needs to be added manually by going to the JSON view and replacing "text" entry with the above under the "regex_matches".

Test posts - these should fail (be excluded)

instead of letting these hide in my nodes or the @graze.social discord, i finally made a leaflet in my blog for feeds! you can comment here or in leaflet with requests, but i'll try to just add as i help folks out too.
