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
Open a issue on lemmy’s GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
Thank you!

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)
How would you add more terms?
“/Trump/Musk/i” or “/Trump, Musk/i”You need to duplicate the whole thing and just replace the filter word with some other
That works, thank you so much!
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.
Voyager
How can I do that? I couldn’t find it on the settings.
I’ve been looking for that forever! Idk how tf I missed it. I guess because I never scrolled to the bottom, and thought it only has community filters. Thank you!
Would you believe me when I say that it simply doesn’t appears in my screen???
P.S.: Voyager 2.18.4, by the way, not my main app but I have it installed.
That’s strange. I’m running same version. Someone mentioned that it’s not available on iPhone, perhaps that’s the reason?
I don’t think so. I’m on Android.
That feature is not on the iOS version sadly.
It’s in mine. App version 2.18.5.
Ah, solved it. Need to be logged in before it appears.
Voyager too for iOS users. Closest app to Apollo in the beforefore times.
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

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.
Don’t forget, the US has nukes. We’re everybody’s problem.
We just assume you’re dumb enough to nuke yourself.
if all the nukes America has went off at once, wouldn’t it be enough to destroy the planet or something?
They have almost nuked them a couple times.
We live in a global society, my friend.
Unfortunately they affect us all.
Like it or not, the US has tremendous influence around the world. The rise in populism may not appeal to you, but that doesn’t mean that it may not be coming for you.
Some people are active in their own political communities without needing the likes of their online meme communities and other peripheral interests being flooded by political discussion from Americans.
An important step towards reducing America’s tremendous influence around the world is to divest ourself from participation in their political sphere at a cultural and national level.
We don’t need to constantly validate Americans that their country is the political centre of the entire world. That’s part of the problem.
Again, true. But still don’t give a shit about US politics and personalities.
I don’t blame you in the slightest. I’m American and I’m sick to death of the clown show.
That’s your choice. Godspeed
@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.
Being constantly angry and circlejerking about it with other angry people won’t make the problem go away either.
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.
That’s what they want though. They want us to be miserable and exhausted. This is our time to stand guard over Democracy so we can safely pass the baton to the next generation. Are you going to give them what they want?
I dont have anything left to give. youre not getting more blood from this stone regardless of how much you guilt trip me
Not trying to guilt trip you Mr Lucifer. Take all the time you need. Just know that some of us still have a lot of fight left in them. Feel free to jump in if/when you have the strength to show these Nazi scum what’s wrong and what’s right
yes, im not saying ‘no’ forever. but i know me and my friends who ran phone banks and did all the things need a break after the last cycle. i know we cant wait 4 years to act… or even 2… but were all very tired.
epic thanks
