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!

    It can be done using some arcane browser extensions or in apps like Voyager.

    There was a TIL post last week on similar topic. The OP shared a browser solution they found: https://lemmy.world/post/21852842

    “Quote”

    I did this on Firefox, but I suspect it may work in other browers too.

    1. Install the Violentmonkey extension. Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey will also do.
    2. Install the Lemmy tools script.
    3. Browse to Lemmy
    4. Click on the screw driver icon on the LemmyTools bar that is now visible on the Lemmy page.
    5. Scroll down and check the box next to “Content Blocking”
    6. Add your block words in the “Add filters seperated by commas.” box. I typed “Trump, Vance” Voila!
