but I'm looking for less shitposts and more useful stuff from there.
I've come up with simple condition that the more replies it has, the more useful post is. There are exceptions though.
Yeah, the usual /pol/ ragebait spam and s4s cross-board shit posting and porn while jannies are asleep gets tons of replies.
Information isn't born on 4chan, it just tends to get linked there before a lot of other places, but you can instead build an RSS feed of primary sources and have a lot of the same info. As fun as that zoo is, I think getting a consistently quality curated info feed from it is almost impossible.
You’d probably need to write a script that parses the RSS then strips out anything without enough comments. You’d then need to either serve the new stripped RSS via HTTP unless you need just the RSS file itself. It would be pretty easy to do if you know any programming language.
Personally I’d use Ruby or Crystal but that’s only because I’m well-versed in both already.
The first step is to install Gentoo.
Seriously, I don't think that there's a way to filter it. Plus /g/ isn't even a good news source, it's a somewhat decent place for discussions and that's it.

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
