Need better way to curate the feed

Body

My feed is basically useless because it's spammed by stuff happening in big repos that I starred basically as "bookmark" and for voting. No need for updates.
There needs to be a way to curate the feed that is not related to other ways of "rating" or interacting with a repo. Otherwise I'm much better of not using the feed at all, and therefore never to open the github homepage.

Yeah, +1 to this. All of my feed has suddenly become Pull request, issue spam from repositories I have starred and have no interest in seeing information on. Marking the items in hte feed as "not interested in" does not seem to have any effect. The feed has gone from being something I like to peruse to being completely uninteresting and spam.

I second this. My feed suddenly went from things I have interest in to complete useless. A day ago it went absolutely bananas and become useless.

Whatever the change was it completely invalidates staring things into list, I do not want updates from repositories that have 10s if not 100s of PRs merge daily, "saving" these repository in lists are now useless. Giving away stars as "wow you did a great thing here" is no longer valid, stars now work like if you were watching the whole repo.

Edit: I think it is now (as of 2024-11-11) back to how it was before.
