@ivory will this update also include an option to disable news section in explore tab?

@Himalaya No. You can just not go to that tab if you don't want to see it. It's a part of Mastodon.

@ivory I understand that I should not visit that tab if I don’t want to see it but searching for users and news section are in the same explore tab.

Wouldn’t that be good to have search and explore as a different tab?

@Himalaya I don't understand. There’s subsections within the Explore tab. News isn't default and if you never go to news, you'll never see it. You can freely search without ever seeing the news.

@ivory search and explore should be different. Search means I know what I want to search for and I want to see that. Search for people and post can be separated.

Explore, on the other hand, means I want to explore into an unknown. I don’t know what I want, I just want to see what is going on all around mastodon or my server.

In this explore tab even if I switch to people, I am seeing suggestions that are not useful to me(even when I don’t type anything )

There are no recent searches as well.

@ivory yes both of these functionalities overlap, but they are not same.
