Regarding the post title: Lemmy itself allows you to block communities, instances, and users. But it does not support filtering by keyword, e.g. filtering out any post with the word "platypus" in the title regardless of where it was posted or by whom. With help from the comments below, here are some third party Lemmy clients that have their own implementation of keyword filtering:

  • Boost
  • Connect
  • Eternity
  • Interstellar
  • Raccoon
  • Summit
  • Sync
  • Tesseract
  • Thunder
  • Voyager

Do NOT support keyword filtering:

  • Alexandrite
  • Jerboa
  • Lemmy UI
  • mlmym
  • Next
  • Photon
  • Quiblr

Definitely cool to be able to hide some topics

Piefed has that feature too

Same with MBin, we have this feature too, I'm surprised Lemmy UI doesn't support it

@Blaze@feddit.org Thanks!! Doesn't feel like it's been a year on fedia, time flies so fast

Many lemmy apps do though. I use the feature on voyager

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Summit even supports regex if you want to get fancy :D

[–] Zip2@feddit.uk 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And will also let you block entire instances, like say hexbear.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Instance blocking has been able on vanilla Lemmy for a while, no need for this at the client level

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 4 months ago

Instance blocking despite all the promises turns out to be mostly a lie, and has actually gotten weaker with time. Although we were told to wait and then this feature would solve our personal defederation needs, the opposite turned out to be the case. On 0.19.3 it at least used to prevent notifications (confusingly enough), then on 0.19.5 it no longer does so.

I still see every comment, they can reply to me, I can reply to them, and the only thing it ends up doing is hide communities - including auto-name-expansion with the exclamation mark. I wanted an actual "block" of an "instance", but apparently I must move to another instance to get that:-(.

Voyager number one yeeeee

Can you share a block list or good filter? I really couldn't give a rats ass about US politics. I'm using Sync 🤔

I just have Trump/Kamala/Biden/Republican/Democrat .. etc as individual filters

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Russia, Ukraine, Election, Terrorist, Vote (on my alt which is just to scroll and look at animal pics and memes)

An honorable mention I’ve got on my blocklist is “shitlib” filters the hexbears and grads right out.

[–] chickenf622@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

Wait there are places that exist outside of the US?

[–] geography082@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Yep is a killing feature from Voyger .

[–] Xylight@lemdro.id 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That should really be a server side feature instead of client side

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 4 months ago

Do you know if PieFed allows user-blocking of instances? Like allow someone to mention a community name such as firefox@lemmy.ml while blocking someone with a user account from lemmy.ml?

Voyager UI too

[–] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Ah man I love Voyager with keyword blocks
