Custom Nodes
Bots Begone
Selectively exclude bot lists by category, type, or topic. These are lists curated by reducenoise.bsky.social and all are clear bot accounts.
Include Regex
Include posts if they contain any words or terms in your regex. This custom node does a case-insensitive search for regex terms in text, hashtags, hidden tags, alt text, link descriptions, and link titles.
Be Nice & Not a Bot
Selectively exclude groups of lists: Bad Vibes + Problematic + Trolls + Bots & Spam + Content Theft & Scams. See individual custom nodes for full description of lists or to unblock select lists.
No Spam Ma’am
Selectively exclude lists capturing various types of spam or bot-like behavior. These are lists curated by reducenoise.bsky.social and the AI Mod labeler. They are not labeled bot accounts, but post with the frequency or pulse of a bot and their content is often spam-like (e.g. using link shortener, weird links, etc.) or often undesired (e.g., AI imagery).
Require Alt Text
Create feeds that only include media (images, videos, gifs, and/or links) with alt text by adding this custom node. This will increase accessibility within your feed, making it easier for people from all walks of life to enjoy all the content. Why a custom node? Alt text is stored in a variety of places depending on the media type and if its an original post or media added to a quote post. This custom node identifies all scenarios for you and is customizable. ## Usage - Add this custom node to the outer most "all of these" logic node in your feed - Adjust the threshold numbers to the **minimum number of words** you want to require in alt text for each media type. A value of "0" will allow all media of that type into the feed if that media type is permitted by other filters. ## Example Usage (Coming Soon)
