Reddit does this in their backend code, but if I'm seeing too much of a certain subreddit I have no way of changing any setting in order to see less of it. I think the solution lies in the ability to create a scale that is individual to a given #tag. Some #tags are not going to be too active except for a couple submissions per month maybe; being delivered these needles in the haystack is important. Right now, on Reddit anyways, if I don't go on for a day or two I could easily miss the one submission from my niche interest.

What I'm trying to say regarding this other spefiic problem is that this community needs a solution which does the following:

- posts above the threshold setting per tag need to be marked (for what we'll call in this example) "important". I don't want these gem articles leaving my feed until I've somehow "marked them as read" (ie. opened the comments or clicked through to the link).

I hope I've made the problem clear; the solution might not be the best, but it's a start in the right direction.
