Filtering subscriptions

[arcanetrivia]

I believe the answer to this question is "No" but I just thought I'd check; maybe I've missed a trick.

Is it true that you cannot apply filters to an RSS subscription? For example, I subscribe to fic tagged with a certain character and read that RSS feed. But I would prefer to get only the English-language entries in the feed (and, even better, only the ones within the originating fandom, so I don't get crossover fics). Is it possible to do that?

I use ifttt.com to do that. Ifttt allows you to subscribe to rss feeds and put a filter on them, for example "must include the phrase 'language: English'".

sarken did a walk through on how to use "if this, then that" for Ao3 feeds here http://ao3some.dreamwidth.org/7543.html
