Yes, but that's one thread about R. Where as country picks are 200-ish countries (if you do all of them), each with their own thread.

I could see the need to add a few more hashtags for huge subjects, but I think you need the people who don't want to see them to tell you those.

Country picks are a large and easily defined subject.

I have no interest in R, but once I scrolled past that, that was it.

@FediFollows @JeffGrigg
Sounds like you need a poll - how many want to see country picks and how many don't.

If I'm in the minority, a hashtag would be a better option.

@FediFollows @JeffGrigg
But is there a hashtag we can use to filter out country picks? I didn't see one.

@FediFollows
Could we get some way to filter out the country picks?

You sometimes pick subjects that don't interest me, but for most of your posts there is something interesting, even if most of them don't result in a follow. But for the country picks, there is a ton of countries, and I don't have a lot of interest in most of them, so I tend to scroll past them.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the group of people who are interested is much smaller and more local for the country picks than for other subjects.

My first thought was leave them on the web, most people will only be interested in one or two countries, and that's much easier to browse through on the website, where as one person may be interested in many different subjects. But that's probably going to have a lot of people disagree, so some way to easily filter them out.

Maybe a separate account (like the fedi videos one), or simply some keyword filtering?
