You can filter in Voyager the keywords you don't want. In my eyes it's better to block the users directly. There are some social warrior guys here posting their stuff more than once. They seem to be all over, but after all my blocking list is not more than 30 accounts. Not much. But the feed is clean.

Another vote for Voyager which caters for blocking of keywords. And thanks to whoever posted the US politics block list. Can't upvote as I can no longer see their post.
sync for Lemmy has a gag reflex
I feel ya. I personally only want English as I can't understand other languages. Does Lemmy have that option and not an app/community by app/community way of doing it?
Lemmy Connect for android has regex filters
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.
Sync allows you to filter posts by keyword in settings. Here is my block list: https://lemmy.ml/post/4194272
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 itβs not specific enough to her name.
When you make a post using the words you banish, does your own post banish after you post it?
The dude who repairs clothes must be pissed.
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 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.
I could see it being used for quotes (or at least paraphrasings), so I can't imagine it being all bad
Oh I thought you MTG :(
Here is a guide I once wrote on how to do that in the Eternity app for Lemmy on Android:
You made me look that up in my app since I have the exact same issue. Voyager has a function to do this exactly. Youβre welcome. :)
If you use a browser, sone extensions for parental control allow you to filter out words or replace them with other ines . Helped me a lot to clear my mind.
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.
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.
Eternity , Thunder and Voyager also do.
