Hide activities of other followers in timeline

Efejota

@sartoric that is why I will never follow @Stefan-Kersting. Having their activities in my SApp timeline would be sooooo frustrating.

@sartoric That’s a pity … can it be added as a feature request? I think it would make sense to have an option to enable/disable other’s activities in your home page.

A Former User

@Tieutieu Yeah I can imagine. In my case when I do activities in a group I am not really interested to see them in my time line… it’s duplicated activities for me … but I am just nitpicking I guess

@tomasbartko
one work around could be: keep your SA clear from followers and do the “social stuff” in Strava?

sartoric

There are at least a couple of old requests about this
eg https://forum.suunto.com/topic/1925/make-leaderboard-and-other-social-stuff-optional

but if you don’t want at all to see followed activities, why are you following ?

… I know, I know, in some cases you want

You dont see other followers activities at your feed. You only see from the people you follow.

So just unfollow those people. The follow feature works that way, to just saw you their activities in your feed.

@freeheeler Good idea, but I stopped using all social networks, including Strava.

A Former User

@freeheeler Sometimes I don’t like something you like and vice versa, we’re all different I guess I’ll have to live with it, but still think an option to disable it in the future would be nice

A Former User

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Yes I know. But I personally do not like this, hence the question if I can disable it. Thanks anyway. I guess this post can be closed.

@tomasbartko
I have reduced it, too, to a reasonable minimum
I like to see what my Suunto and Strava friends are doing, because I find it inspiring. I don’t care about the “common” social media

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@tomasbartko the follow thing is just for that reason if you want to see someone’s stuff in your feed. The feed is a different area from your diary. Perhaps you meant to completely remove the feed and convert the diary to somewhat the looks of the feed?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I’ll give you an example: overall I like to see what others do, but sometimes when I’m particularly stressed and tired I like to decrease the information flow of daily life. Switching off activities of other people temporarily would be a welcome addition in my opinion.

freeheeler

@DMytro
or just don’t look into it?
or do you have notification enabled?
I have switched them off in general. I just see an icon, that’s it

@freeheeler that‘s my approach too. Messages only for a few apps, mainly calendars and todos, for the rest the small red number is enough

A Former User

@freeheeler I used to like too, but I’ve had health issues about a year ago and was not able to exercise at all (for a year… slowly coming back now). It started to be depressing to see how people are active on all the social networks, especially on Strava. So that’s why I’m not using it. I also liked to discover new routes and so on… That’s just my preference.

DMytro

@freeheeler that’s what I’m doing. But having more customization is always a plus.

A Former User

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos well, you can view your activities in two places, in this “Home” (is this the Feed?) directory and in your Training directory.

I personally would like it better if all activities wouldn’t be combined in the Feed, but there would be a separate section where you can view other’s activities. Or an option to just hide them. Would be “cleaner” for me. But that would be too difficult to implement I guess.

freeheeler

@tomasbartko
yes, “home” is the feed and if you press on your user image you’ll see your own stats.
I agree and think I mentioned it some years ago that I would prefer to have my stuff in the home screen and the feed in a saparate screen. maybe it’s the social driven thing that makes companies decide to put this on by default?

I would like this implemented as “mute”. I do follow a few people, but occasionally I don’t want to see all their feeds. A mute option would help with that.
