Buddypress activity loop filter

Hey, can you please help me with setting this up? I want to show an activity feed that shows only activity of the kind "updates" (status, posts, etc). I have already been able to restrict the feed from showing posts of non-friends. I saw this on buddypress but could you help me in getting a function or filter that I could add to the customiser to get this to work? https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/loops-reference/the-activity-stream-loop/ also found this but want to know if this doesn't mess up recording of BP activities necessary for WPLMS functions. https://buddypress.org/support/topic/updates-only-in-activity-stream/
