filter out items linked to your account??

would love for there to be a way to only get "hey an item you have in your library / collection is on sale" on items on chosen collections or for items not linked to your account.

like, if this is an item that i have bought, it seems counter intuitive for itch.io to tell me it's on sale - i know this already. but because i use collections for sorting types of items i have in my library... i get notifications anytime any of them go on sale. which happens a lot. to the point where i skimmed messages and missed items i actually want to buy because the emails i got were about games i have purchased already.

same with the "top games on sale" option from the main page - there's no way to sort out items that i've bought and linked to my account which is 

No critique - I’m just trying to get a clearer picture:

I might be misunderstanding you, but do you’d like the On sale from your follows & collections site, but for other peoples’ collections? (Without having to replicate said collections in your own account)

And your other feature request is to hide games already connected to your account from featured/fresh lists and searches? (I can already tell you that the second one would have to be implemented as an option in the settings because people would wonder why they can’t find those games in the search otherwise.)

ah sorry if I wasn't clear!

So "On sale from your follows and collections" shows me EVERYTHING on sale even if it's already associated to my account. I want to be able to say "show me things on sale from CERTAIN collections" or "show me things from my collections that isn't already linked to my account". I have a lot of games from itchio and everything is sorted in collections. I want to only know if an item is on sale if it's in a specific "wishlist" collection. 


I dont want to hide games I own from searches, but if I'm looking on https://itch.io/games/on-sale I really wish there's a way to filter out games linked to my account already. I own them, why would I want to buy them again? Filtering out games I already have would remove about 10 from the main page and that would give me a chance to check out 10 unknown games on sale for me.

I think I got the full picture now (and so will the admins, hopefully). Thanks for taking the time to clarify.
