Use Cases

Here are some use cases for filters.

tip

Only quick filters are available in the SocialDog app.

When You Want to Conduct a Campaign Lottery

Utilizing AI-powered Automatic Account Classification Filters

You can exclude "bot accounts," "adult accounts," "advertisement/promotion accounts," and so on.

Items marked with "(beta)" are automatically determined and estimated by AI using SocialDog's proprietary algorithms. As this is an automated determination by machine, the results may sometimes be inaccurate.

Excluding Users Containing Specific Text

To exclude users whose name, description, or location contains specific keywords, set the following filter:

• All Text [Does Not Contain]

When You Want to Increase Followers

Following Users Who Are Likely to Follow Back

By setting the following filters, you can follow only those who are likely to follow you back:

• FF Ratio Greater Than or Equal To: 0.7
• FF Ratio Less Than or Equal To: 2
• Inactive: No
• Following: No
• Follow Request Pending: No
• Following Count Greater Than or Equal To: 100
• Post Count Greater Than or Equal To: 100
• Date Followed: No Record

Users who actively follow back after being followed tend to have their following count closer to their follower count.

Furthermore, there's no point in following inactive users, so they are excluded.

Exclude users who appear to be new to X (Twitter), with fewer than 100 followings and fewer than 100 posts.

Exclude users you have followed before.

When You Want to Improve Your FF Ratio

Unfollowing Users Other Than Recently Followed Ones (Not Followed Back, Inactive)

To keep your follow list clean, it is effective to unfollow users who haven't followed back or who are inactive.

You can unfollow users using the following features:

• "Followers" → "Not Followed Back"
• "Followers" → "Inactive"

Users you have recently followed might still follow you back. It is recommended to either sort by "Date Followed Oldest" and unfollow from the oldest, or create a filter like the one below to avoid unfollowing users you have followed within the last week.

X (Twitter) rules prohibit mass unfollowing (known as "follow churn") simply because a follow was not reciprocated after you followed someone.

With the following setting, only users followed before December 16, 2016, will be displayed.

• Date Followed On or Before: 2016/12/16

Furthermore, inactive users with a high number of followers might become active again, so you can also apply a filter like the following:

• Follower Count Less Than or Equal To: 1000

Excluding Bot Accounts

The "Bot (beta)" filter allows you to specify whether to include or exclude bot accounts.

• Items marked with "(beta)" are automatically determined and estimated by AI using SocialDog's proprietary algorithms. As this is an automated determination by machine, the results may sometimes be inaccurate.

Excluding Adult Accounts

The "Adult" filter allows you to specify the filter strength (how frequently adult content is posted).
