Edit: The above Connect filter only works for title posts. It doesn’t seem to filter comments or community names.
I mention this only because of some questions here and how people are going to the effort to censor out comments on this post.
It depends on your Lemmy client. I only use Connect, so I can’t tell you where it is in other apps, or if other apps even have it. (Settings -> Filters)
Connect is a simple app and has stabilized quite well over the last few months. Instance, community and word filters have been in the app since I started using it. (Instance filters were implemented long before Lemmy had that as a core feature.)
TBH, Connect was about as close to RIF as I could find at the time and it’s been great. (It’s had its share of bugs, but most are squashed now.)
