Hello everyone,
Basically title. At the moment I use the “hide post” feature when I see this kind of posts in generic communities (e.g. [email protected] ), but I was curious to see if anyone had another option, such as maybe a tampermonkey script?
Thank you for your help.
Got this from the lemmy scripts community:
Looks promising, thank you!
I’m a US citizen and I wish I could avoid it.
The virus will affect us all… whether directly or indirect.
There doesn’t seem to be as much overflowing into non political communities here as at reddit where it’s just overflowing everywhere I find. I think it’s a reflecting of the anxiety many are feeling about the election. Hopefully it dies down in a couple of weeks.
It should basically be done after November 6.
Longer if Trump disputes results and drags it out.
It’ll continue until inauguration (January?)
I just block most political comms, I don’t see too much of it I would say.
Use the keyword filter. First of all add the last names of the candidates. And also “voting”, “election”. I’m happy with the amount of posts that remain after that.
Lemmy-UI current does not have a keyword filter the same way Piefed does. Otherwise I would be happy to use it.
I didn’t realise there were keyword filters. Thanks!
There are not on the default lemmy-UI, hendrik is on Piefed.
For Lemmy, some alternatives front-ends have filters:
- Voyager: https://m.lemmy.world
- Tesseract: https://tesseract.dubvee.org/
Yeah, sorry. You need an (android) app that does this, or PieFed…
It’s a great feature, though. I’m not one of the people who get offended/annoyed easily… But I also prefer to consume some content and skip some other things…
Voyager on iOS has keyword filters

At this stage, I would be happy with being able to filter based on titles alone, no need for OCR.
Not sure about default but I’m using Sync and it’s got a keyword filter. Using it to block Musk and Trump, made a big difference.
Yeah, keyword list would be awesome.
I have a personal bunch of communities as is allowed and occasionally jump to main when I run out of content. Usually see something I regret, often Trumpian, amusing but depressing. Maccas window Trump etc. Will code for relief if it’s not too (ironically) political.
There’s a github issue requesting this feature.
You could look into using 3rd party clients to view Lemmy. They often enhance the default behavior with additional features. E.g. Voyager (the one I’m using) has a “keyword filter”.
Hello,
As mentioned in the title, I would prefer to do this on the default Lemmy UI rather than a third party client
Learn to enjoy it. Get the popcorn out and watch America burn 😎🍿
I just block anybody posting news about USAmerican politics and any community/magazine focused on it. It weeds out USAmericans and their sympathisers.
