Yeah, I was having a similar feeling. When I go to github.com, I don't want to discover repos, I want to work on the things that need to be worked on. Ideally without having to change filter settings hidden somewhere in the UI. |

I've been using Github for over 10 years on a single account, and I've never found the the dashboard feed materially useful or a feature that gives me information I want to see. The recent update hasn't changed this. I've played with the settings and still can't get it to do what I want, which is show things that are actually relevant to me on the basis of what I am contributing to (plus what I want to see).
When I and I'm sure many others go to github.com, the useful content on dashboard is mostly just the 300px wide sidebar, with the feed and the right hand sidebar serving almost no utility for how I want to use Github. It seems that up until recently, Github would show me activity from the hundreds of repositories I had starred, as well as people I followed, which is a bunch of noise I really don't care about.
But this doesn't have to be this way. The feed could be an incredibly useful feature, if it could be made to consist of things that are actually relevant to you.
Here's what I want to be able to set the feed to contain (ideally this should all be configurable):
In my ideal setup, I want to turn off everything that the feed currently shows, and opt-in to only the above list of features. I think this would make the dashboard incredibly valuable and a productivity booster.
The dashboard feed could be such a useful feature. Please consider adding the ability to customize it with the options above.
There's a similar discussion about this in #110596, but that thread is framed very critically.
