Here is a nice little search for native FF posts with at least 2 'likes'. It eliminates imported items and only shows those with some engagement, giving a snapshot of who is really using the service. Note that I can't read most of them. https://friendfeed.com/search...

It is cool little things like this that make me upset when search breaks.
- Alex Scrivener
It is interesting to note that at least on the first page of that, I know all of the English-language posters. The English-language group of active FriendFeeders really must not be very large anymore. I always wonder if there are other pockets of them around somewhere that just don't connect with any of us, but maybe not.
- Jandy
Jandy, the big x-factor is English language private groups and feeds. I still don't think it's the significant in size, but we just don't know what percentage it is.

How can I create a saved search for friendfeed.com/public that shows FF-native posts ONLY?

Ooohhh...that's a good one. I think the only way to do it now is by running a Greasemonkey script. I might be wrong

http://friendfeed.com/search... doesn't do what you want?
- Brian Sullivan
found this http://internetducttape.com/2008... Does this help you?
- Shevonne
Brian, that shows FF native posts but also pulls in all custom RSS posts. There are so many of those that it's hard to wade through to see just the native FF posts.
- Rochelle
Yeah -- I see. It's too bad FF didn't implement the custom RSS more cleanly.
- Brian Sullivan
Is there a way I can use Brian's link and then do somethingsomething -ping.fm to at least weed out those posts? Does service:-ping.fm work? Help!
- Rochelle
What about this? http://friendfeed.com/search...
- Louis Gray
Wow. Louis wins! Thanks! :)
- Rochelle
Rochelle, Louis is correct. If you need more features (have filtering applied on top of any list or search, use my script: http://userscripts.org/scripts... (also can filter by keyword, show only posts with 1 or more images an a few other things). Page me for help. :)

Scheduled Saved Searches: The Next Big Update to Saved Searches ( to be used together with the "Subscribing to Saved Search" feature suggestion here --->- http://friendfeed.com/ffss... )
Kol Tregaskes, Sativa, Aram Zucker-Scharff and 3 other people liked this
Scheduled Saved Searches [ feature suggestion ]: Your subscriptions and Friend-of-a-Friend(FoaF) get you content and content "recommendations" on your homefeed. Now, with "scheduled" Saved Searches content "filtering" comes into your home feed as well. Schedule the updates from your favorite people, groups, events, conferences and anything else you are interested in at a time that is comfortable to you and stay on top of your interests always. Since the updates flow into your feed at a time of your choice, you won't miss them; and since the updates are clumped together by topic, you can settle into a rhythm while friendfeeding. The audio attached to this post explains this in a little more detail.

I don't really have this as a saved search. This was research to see how one person manages his FF/Twitter interaction. But it does show off the sort of thing you can do with FF search.

That's a good question :) A Home Feed is not exactly a list (it doesn't have a list name)

But if you really wanted to, you could simulate that with: friends:tomit -list:abc -list:xyz

Yes, that's what I'd do. Personally, I don't have anything on my Home Feed. I have 25 lists, plus a Firehose list (with all subscriptions)

I've added this to our bugs list. Thanks for the feedback.

And maybe a Pop Out option for the Home Feed would be nice. I would love to have a pop out that I could leave up all day.

I have a search for my posts with no likes where I am the only commenter (-likes:1 comments:1 -comments:2 comment:alexscrivener from:alexscrivener) I have another for my posts with comments or likes (comments:1 OR likes:1) from:alexscrivener. How can I subtract the first from the second, so that I get my posts with comments or likes, unless I am...
Hmm, by definition it's already excluded... The first one searches for posts without any likes, the second one searches for posts with at least one like, hence it shouldn't overlap. I suggest this: from:alexscrivener -likes:2 OR -comment:2 which will get all posts with exactly one like or exactly one comment. Try it out.
