Can you filter out certain SE sites from the hot questions list? [duplicate]

Question

Is it possible to filter out Stack Exchange sites from the hot questions list?

Answer 1

Not likely.

But you could using a Greasemonkey script. Not the most complete set of features but it does what you want. Just update the blacklist and whitelist within the script to suit your needs.

// ==UserScript==

(function() {
    function embedScript(id, main, globalFunctions) {
        var scriptElement = document.createElement("script");
        scriptElement.type = "text/javascript";
        scriptElement.id = id;
        var name, content = "";
        if (globalFunctions) {
            for (name in globalFunctions) {
                if (globalFunctions.hasOwnProperty(name)) {
                    content = content + name + "=(" + globalFunctions[name].toString() + "());\n";
                }
            }
        }
        content = content + "(" + main.toString() + "());";
        scriptElement.textContent = content;
        document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(scriptElement);
        return scriptElement;
    }

    embedScript("filter-hot-se-questions", function () {
        var blacklist = [
            "english.stackexchange.com",
        ];
        var whitelist = [

        ];

        $(".genu").click(function () {
            var retryCount = 0;
            const retryMax = 3;

            function tryFilter() {
                var $query = $("#seContainerHot>.itemBox").filter(function () {
                    var $link = $(this).find(".siteLink");
                    var site = $link.attr("href").match(/:\/\/(?:www\.)?(.[^\/:]+)/)[1];
                    return !$.inArray(site, blacklist) && $.inArray(site, whitelist);
                });

                if ($query.length > 0) {
                    returyCount = 0;
                }

                $query.hide();

                if (retryCount++ < retryMax) {
                    window.setTimeout(tryFilter, 1000);
                }
            }

            window.setTimeout(tryFilter, 1000);
        });
    });
}());
