Hey everyone! I know you can block instances or maybe communities, not sure exactly how to do that but also is there a way to block topics or keywords as well? I don’t live in the US, and I find too many posts/comments are about US politics, trump, or capitalism. To each their own and I’m sure it’s relevant for many, but if there’s a way to stop seeing those it would make my Lemmy experience more enjoyable. Thanks for any help you could provide!
Yes, I use a uBlock Origin filter that looks like this:
lemmy.ml##.post-listing:has(.post-title:has-text(/trump|elon|musk|biden|kamala|rfk/i))You’ll need to modify the domain at the start (replace
lemmy.mlwith your instance hostname) and then change the keywords at the end with whatever keywords you want to exclude.To use it:
- click the uBO icon and then the gear (settings) icon
- click on the My Filters tab
- make sure that “Enable My Custom Filters” is checked
- paste the filter into the text area below
- press the “Apply Changes” button
Browse with an app that lets you filter keywords. Boost is good.
Thanks for this, and thanks to everyone else with their suggestions too - ended up getting Thunder and filter blocks worked!
You bet! Voyager is an excellent app with filters in the Settings -> General section.
I’ve blocked trump, vance, and elon and my feed has gotten 1000% better.
Done the same now and it’s excellent, thanks!
Others have talked about mobile apps, but if you are on a browser, check out Lemmytools. It also adds filter by keyword to Lemmy.
Nope. We are everywhere. We’re in your home, your car, your job, your economy. We are many for We are Legion
