Way to hide posts or certain users?

A lot of people post stuff I just don't care for. I don't really want to go blocking everyone because it's not that I have anything against them personally, it's just I'm not into that content and would rather free up my newsfeed for the type of content I'm interested in. It would be nice if there were a "hide user" or "hide post" option.

The newsfeed seems to just consist of who is posting at the time and I wish instead it looked at what type of posts you viewed/liked and put that on there instead.

I kind of hate the feeds on this site. It seems like I can't customize it to the groups and people I subscribed to. It was a much better experience for me years ago on EP.

@TheGreatLeveler
You should be able to set your feed in the way you describe.

You can slide your preferred content sources, such as "Users You Follow" and "Groups you Subscribe to" to Maximum (5).

While also dialing down on the other settings, especially "Other Users", as that option will largely give you random / non-relevant content.

Lastly, ideally don't set "Post Order / Sorted by" heavily towards "Time Posted".
To prioritize content that you are subscribed to, set this slider at minimum to the Center, or more towards "Most Relevant".
