That’d be nice

For a few years I’ve made it a personal point not to read any political coverage with overblown action verbs in the title like “X slams Y over spending bill” or “Y attacks Z”. It’s subjective but I swear it has genuinely helped my mental health. A filter that does this would definitely be nice now that you mention it!
It will be so important once US election cycle comes around. It became a game of wack a mole individually blocking subreddits versus just setting relevant keywords to make the reddit viewing experience wonderful as opposed to a rage inducing. We need a Fediverse Enhancement Suite.
The last US election cycle taught me how to block keywords in RiF. By the time I left Reddit, my blacklist had hundreds of entries.
I notice that the Connect app for Lemmy has an option to block keywords. Definitely planning to take full advantage of that in the next cycle.
Yeah this place needs Reddit and Elon Musk filters real bad
Right? Like I get it, but it’s a bit much, you guys.
It’s like when your friends won’t stop talking about your ex.
Connect for Lemmy has that feature.
It doesn’t really filters post for me. I tried with “Threads” and “Reddit” and they kept showing up.
On what feed(s) does it have effect?
I’m not a Connect dev and the app is not open source yet, so I can’t quantitatively give you an answer. As a user, it’s been working fine for me on all feeds.
I recommend posting something in the Connect for Lemmy community. If a feature is broken, the dev probably wants to hear about it.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca
Good bot.
Can I filter out any post about Lemmy? It feels like a circlejerk sometimes
I would love for this to be a feature, I want to filter out any posts that could be a trigger like sexual assault. I could do it in the reddit third party apps.
You can block communities and magazines that focus on it, which should get rid of the lion’s share of Reddit-related content. It’s been a bit disappointing to see so much low-effort, choir-preaching memes and content flood in. Hopefully the Fediverse can progress to a place where the primary activities extend beyond discussing the Fediverse & Reddit.
wefwef Voyager has this
Can you tell me how to find that option? I only have blocked communities, block NSFW, and and blocked users.
Nevermind, I saw the menu and assumed you could mute words as well
