I constantly find myself blocking not accounts mostly because I don’t care about their content, plus certain communities I have no interest in like sports stuff could easily be blocked by using text strings with wildcards

Like *bot

Does anyone know of a way to do this? Preferably a Lemmy client that just does it without having to run a script? Because unless I run it daily new accounts are just going to pop up

    The problem with scripts is they run automatically… Unless your computer is off, which mine frequently is to save power and then I mostly browse Lemmy on my phone. I will take the other stuff into mind though that’s useful knowledge

    Edit, just saw that part of your post: regex is a very extensive programming language used to search within text strings and a wild card is basically a symbol that denotes *=(put anything here), like 1_bot, 2bot or 3.bot would all be listed if you searched for *bot , its a much easier way of working with things than regex
