    This is a message to people in generally, not specifically the top level comment:

    If your instance, or app/frontend offers a keyword filter/block, I would suggest adding Chappelle to the list.

    Politicians, or words of violence can also be added if you generally want a joyful experience on Lemmy; staying up to date the news and politics can be important, but some people get plenty of that from outside of Lemmy, and may want this to be a space to relax, chill, or experience their interests and hobbies, or something important to them on a personal level.

      That sounds lovely, I’ll have to take a look. I just use Firefox, so I’m not sure if I have that option, but it certainly would be work looking into if it’s possible.

        I’ve only ever used vger.app (just a frontend in your web browser). It does have filter and block settings under the Settings menu.

        Due to that though I’m not really familiar with standard Lemmy and other apps. I think a recent update to Lemmy itself added the ability to personally block whole instances. I don’t see that option in the vger app, but should be available from your instance login if it is up to date.

          I prefer not to use apps where a website will do. No need to have yet another instance of chromuim.

            Oh no, it is a web app (essentially just a website). If you see someone speaking of a web app, it typically won’t require any downloading, or separate applications. It is just delivered through your regular browser (like Firefox in your case).

            Unless Apollo comes back with a Lemmy version, I don’t intend to ever download a Lemmy app.
