Enter PostRank:
http://www.postrank.com/feed/ http://www.postrank.com/feed/
For every RSS feed you will get 4 RSS sub-feeds:
1. Best posts.
2. Great posts.
3. Good posts.
4. All posts.
The ranking (to decide if a post is good/great/best) is done through its popularity online (reddit, digg, delicious, etc.).
When I'm interested in a website I usually subscribe to the best posts sub-feed, sometimes to the great posts sub-feed. This way I'm never overloaded with RSS items to read and I don't miss anything important.
Here are ultra-filtered HN sub-feeds using a feed of HN posts of 150 votes or above:

Also, here is a JavaScript bookmarklet I created to find the PostRank sub-feeds for the current website you're on:
javascript:location.href='http://page2rss.com/page?url=+encodeURIComponent(location.href);
EDIT: ReFilter is also very useful if you want to only read posts about a particular topic:

- rudle 15y agoThere's also the reader extension http://labs.postrank.com/gr http://labs.postrank.com/gr You can set the treshold, and it will dim out the items that are below it. It greatly increases your ability to "fly through" items, without worrying too much about what you're missing.
- gnosis 15y agoIt would be nice if this could be combined with something that extracts the content of HN's links in to the RSS feed itself, like: http://andrewtrusty.appspot.com/readability/feed?url=http://news.ycombinator.com/rss http://andrewtrusty.appspot.com/readability/feed?url=http://...
- solnyshok 15y agoOMG, thanks a lot. I was struggling with too many reposts and self-promotions by obscure bloggers on HN. This helps a lot. Looks like digg for rss. Subscribed to the best HN posts. Unsubscribed from the original feed.
- gasull 15y agoYou're welcome. Beware that is a best posts filter from an already filtered feed that contained only posts with at least 150 votes. Here's where the "original" already filtered feed came from: http://talkfast.org/2010/07/23/a-cure-for-hacker-news-overload http://talkfast.org/2010/07/23/a-cure-for-hacker-news-overlo...
