Leo and Mute Filters – Feedly Blog


Some of the sources you follow in Feedly are broader than the topics and trends you care about. That additional noise can add up and become overwhelming or result in you wasting precious time.

In this article, we’ll show you how to use Leo Mute Filters to mute keywords, companies, people, topics, authors, sites, and more.

Let’s get started!

Mute keywords

FAQ

Are there limits to the number of Leo Mute Filters a user or team can create?

The number of Mute Filters you can use is determined by the plan you are on:

  • Pro+ plan – 25 terms per Feed
  • Business plan – 200 terms per Feed

Note: The “All Personal Feeds” option counts as 1 Feed in terms of these limits. You can have 25 or 200 terms on this feed, depending on your plan. 

Can a Mute Filter target a specific source?

No. Mute filters can target a list of sources (what we call a Feed) or all your Feeds.
