I’m starting to get tired of people talking about Reddit on Lemmy. I personally don’t care about Reddit anymore and am not interested in Reddit news.

I already blocked c/reddit that helped. Is there anything else I can do? Is there a way to hide posts that contain a keyword?

    Engage content that you enjoy and ride this out.

    Right now lemmy’s growth is driven by people pre-emptively leaving reddit even though their choses mobile apps still function. We’ll probably see another influx come July.

    But for now all we as a seed community can do is engage the other topics we enjoy and build communities that have substance.

    Eventually people will join to engage those topics instead of grip reddits demise.

      Very good response. To see less complaining about Reddit, make more posts about other things. Lemmy will be what we make it. I have spent two weeks posting into the void with the community I started and I’m finally starting to see engagement. These things take time.

        I think this is what a lot of people are missing here. Lot of people asking for specific content, but very few are willing to make it.

        Like I used to do some amateur in-depth looks at my college basketball team, but stopped due to just general life stuff and that is would get drowned out by memes about bar graphs. Now, though, there is an audience hungry for it, and it may be something I get back into a little bit.

      Doesn’t work for lots of useful applications of this feature. I want to avoid movie spoilers, so I had all the major marvel and star wars keywords, names, etc in a block list for my reddit client. I could browse all of reddit and (basically) never run into spoilers. There are also people who want to avoid stress triggers for them to just keep their mental sanity. Like blocking posts about Trump or Musk or Biden. It’s not a matter of waiting for some trending topic to boil over.

        Interesting! Yea on reddit I blocked all the top karma accounts and maxed out my subreddit blocks to the point I needed to use RES to filter more out.

        Never had a need to filter content by keyword but hopefully they do roll that feature out eventually!

    It was the same for me on Mastodon, I started regularly using it just as it all kicked off re Twitter. I got really tired of the term ‘bird site’.

    After a couple of weeks that all died down. As others have said, ride it out, it won’t take long for people to stop posting about Reddit.

      I’m already starting to see mentions of Reddit die down here as posts shift to trying to build this thing up with more content instead of just talking about how bad things are over there.

    Sure but then you’ll block your own post…

    I’m not sure that you really need to. It’s the hot topic of the moment for obvious reasons, but it’ll die down soon enough. Just needs a little time.

    If you’re using Lemmy in a browser, you can block posts that contain certain keywords using uBlock Origin. I made a YSK post about it: https://lemmy.world/post/435133

    One of the first things I noticed about the app Connect for Lemmy is that it has a word blacklist. I haven’t tried it, but I see it there is settings

          If RES devs moved to LES that’d be pretty huge, since RES is probably one of the last things making reddit even worth visiting. Or should it be FES?

            RES isn’t really necessary because the project is open source. RES was just a set of power settings that the community could contribute directly into the lemmy-ui project.

            FES, LES both would work. But I think RES devs quit the project a while ago, so not sure whether they’d be willing to repurpose/fork it for lemmy.

          The problem is when 50+ communities all start talking about something pointless Trump or Elon said. I want to be able to hide/block posts by keyword, not community.

          Must have me confused with someone else. I was just expressing my desire to see RES type functionality come out for lemmy and kbin. Love the functionality it added. Pretty much look for any reason to bring it up for social media.

    The Connect for Lemmy app on Android has a filter-out posts by keyword feature

      This is SUCH an important feature. I swear… being able to filter out the words “Trump” and “Hannity” have allowed me to continue enjoying Reddit through some very dark times.

      I also have a particular phobia which is easily triggered by certain photos. Without filters, I actually struggled to get through a day on Reddit without getting triggered.

    No such feature exists yet on the desktop version, but I am sure it’s on the wishlist already. Apps might be able to implement this themselves, but I can’t say whether any have yet.

    Edit: clarified

      Mlem on iOS seems to have that feature under Settings > Filters at least!

      If it isn’t, OP should add it to the issues tracker! Adding things there gives the project leads, plus anyone who is willing to volunteer some time, to know what features people are asking for, and to choose some ready made things right off of the shelf to work on.

      The devs have always been pretty helpful and responsive on Lemmy. I imagine that has changed a lot in the last few weeks, but they’re basically always checking the issues tracker.

    It’ll slow down within a month or two. We’re still kind of right in the middle of all of it right now.

    I experienced something really similar when swapping from Twitter to Mastodon; we were all talking about Twitter a lot because a lot of users just came from there.

    After a while people stopped meta posting and it went back to normal, and we have little spikes in posts about Twitter when ever musk does something stupid but that’s fine.

    Just give it some time. We can swap from one link aggregator to another and instantly act like the other side isn’t on fire

    no, but filtering per keyword would be a nice feature

    I’d really love to filter “the” - just for fun

    I mean scrolling though all and hot I’ve only seen two posts on reddit, this one and one from the reddit Lemmy, just scroll past them.

      a lot of prominent posts have been “reddit??”. But there are many quality discussions about other topics.

      It also seems to be all starwarsmemes can talk about, even lotrmemes (moreso the fact that they won’t leave Reddit apparently).

      It’s not just ‘2 or 3 subs’.
