Generally, I could customize it in bp-activity-templatetags.php for the widgets, but after that the RSS feed won’t update anymore…
It’s possible to filter very fine grained. You just need to pass the right parameters:

Andy, when will you build in exclude instead of include, if your planning that at all..?
Got it, will try it in BP 1.2
you should all check out the bleeding edge trunk 2161. It’s pretty stable and likely addresses all your SWA filtering and grouping needs, with the ability to be tweaked further.
SWA customization really boils down to the ability for a user to choose any combination of “who’s” and “what’s” which is what 1.2 does exactly. so, for ex. you can combine My Friends (who) and Forum Posts Only (what) You can create custom “who”s eg a particular group and add that button or combinations of “what’s’ if it suits your site’s m.o. Combine this with 1.2’s inline commenting and people will never leave your home page
You can see an example on my dev site -> http://mjpratt.com
