Had to block a bunch of communities to detoxify the homepage
I did this on mobile, but I would do it all twice to mute it on both mobile on desktop. It's one of those UX things that's gonna make it hard to get new users onboard Lemmy, unless the UX can be improved to allow muting words directly within Lemmy and storing the list by Lemmy account.
I wish at the very least, Voyager allowed one to export the muted words list to a file and import the file, which could mitigate some of the hassle. On Mastodon, I have like 75 muted words covering news and politics, so muting them all is just painstakingly time consuming if I have to do it twice, and then updating the list twice as I come up with new words that need muting/blocking.
How to mute posts containing certain keywords on Lemmy?
Is there a feature on lemmy where I can automatically filter posts that contain certain keywords, similar to that on Mastodon? On Mastodon I have set a muted words filter that will catch and hide all Mastodon news and politics posts that contain Trump or Elon related keywords.
Unlike reddit, where it's large size allows me to follow specific communities, I generally use the home page on lemmy to browse new content.
I abandoned reddit back in June 2023 and have been lurking on lemmy since that time, but recently I created an account so I could mute and filter out all the Trump and Elon content clogging the feeds. I have blocked the vast majority of all communities that have to do with news, world news, or politics, but there are still posts to do with Trump and Elon still appearing in the home page from time to time. I would love for a way to hide the remaining posts from appearing in the feed on lemmy.
