TIL how to block all posts containing the words Trump or Vance.
I did this on Firefox, but I suspect it may work in other browers too.
- Install the Violentmonkey extension. Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey will also do.
- Install the Lemmy tools script.
- Browse to Lemmy
- Click on the screw driver icon on the LemmyTools bar that is now visible on the Lemmy page.
- Scroll down and check the box next to "Content Blocking"
- Add your block words in the "Add filters seperated by commas." box. I typed "Trump, Vance" Voila!
This kind of filrter would be very helful if it was built into the site. Being able to block words/subjects.
Petition to add this as an actual feature that could block posts, communities, comments amd users /srs

It's available on some Android apps, unfortunately none of the apps have all of the features, they're all spread across various apps.
there is a feature request for mbin to implement this. ive started noodling on the code to potentially contribute. i want it for the same reasons
Or...
lemm.ee##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/Trump/i"))Put that into your adblocker custom filters. Just change the lemm.ee to lemmy.world (or what ever instance you're on)
While we're at it, any recommendations for a Lemmy Android client that can do the same?
Jerboa doesn't appear to have anything other than blocking by: site, community or user.
Most third-party Lemmy apps other than Jerboa contain some form of keyword filtering. Boost, Sync, Voyager, Eternity, and more. Mlem as well if you expand to iOS.
Sadly though I don't think any of the popular desktop frontends support filtering. I don't see it in Alexandrite, and I checked Photon and mlmym as well and also see nothing indicating that is a possibility.
its on the list for mbin
Voyager doesn't have filters as far as I can tell. Sync has robust filters, but you can't display votes separately, which is a deal breaker for me.
I know you may be exhausted hearing their names and reading the news about them. But ignoring them won’t make the problem go away or the situation any better. Don’t look away. Get angry, then find a way to get even.
True, but as a non US person I don't give a shit about US politics or personalities.
Being constantly angry and circlejerking about it with other angry people won't make the problem go away either.
@hohoho
People can keep up with the situation and work to change it without also being drowned by it when trying to keep in touch with others online.Getting angry at wading through hot takes just raises my blood pressure and wastes time I need to engage usefully irl.
you know what it will help with? my exhaustion. you cannot get 'angry' if you are completely fucking drained of energy. these people just want a break.
epic thanks
