Hey everyone! I know you can block instances or maybe communities, not sure exactly how to do that but also is there a way to block topics or keywords as well? I don’t live in the US, and I find too many posts/comments are about US politics, trump, or capitalism. To each their own and I’m sure it’s relevant for many, but if there’s a way to stop seeing those it would make my Lemmy experience more enjoyable. Thanks for any help you could provide!

    At some point this might become part of the software, but for now it has to be an external filter. Some apps as mentioned, and when Kbin was starting off some users got together to create addons for it, some that would actively filter with varying success. The idea is simple, making it work well is not. There also might be addons for browsers that can help filter things, but they would need to be set up to find certain properties of the message code that are around that keyword and remove them selectively to filter cleanly.
