As the title says I want to block posts with specific words. I’m not an American and lately my whole feed is filled with trump/biden and I’m not slightly interested. Thanks in advance.
In the app I use (voyager) there is a settings category to allow filtering words, users, communities or even instances from your feed.
I banished Elon, Musk, and Taylor. The word swift would have been good too but it’s not specific enough to her name.
oh cool. now I can block every trash news article that includes phrases like “blasts”, “slams”, “says”, “should”, “could”, “might”, and “need to”.
What’s wrong with “says”? But yeah, blasts and slams definitely need to go, lmao
Particularly in politics and news communities, it indicates a “here is what <vaguely credible source we asked> predicts will happen” article. They’re not all shit by default, but I’m generally not interested in speculation pieces. I only want to know what actions concretely happened, not what some guy anticipates may happen.
Thunder on android and ios has a keyword filter.
Like the other guy said, there is no keyword filter built into Lemmy itself, gotta use an app.
Here is a guide I once wrote on how to do that in the Eternity app for Lemmy on Android:
I remember seeing a post on lemmy blocking posts with certain words on firefox (and its derivatives) with ublock origin.
- Open
My filterstab in ublock origin extension settings. - To block posts with word
randomonlemmy.ml, add this to text fieldlemmy.ml##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/random/i"))'.iafterrandom/matches case insensitively.
I don’t think there is a way to do so through the website front-end. If you use Android, the Sync for Lemmy app has a keyword filter though, it’s amazing to filter out the whole politics spam.
