Comment on Is there a way to filter news on lemmy

  I’ve been using piefed for a while, and I didn’t know this.

  Turns out I’ve not been seeing NSFW posts too - I guess I didn’t miss that.

  You’re right, you can hide posts with keywords in the name.

  Additionally, I see you can hide posts from communities with keywords in their name. This means you could hide “politics” without having to block all the politics communities.

    Indeed, and the “moe” communities is probably another common use case for the communities name filter

      I feel like blocking such a small word like that would probably cause a number of false positives, causing me to not see some unrelated community that happens to have those three letters in its name.

      Yeah.

      The politics communities dont fill my heart with joy, and the moe communities are creepy, but if I block those what’s left?

      I spend an unhealthy amount of time doomscrolling the fediverse, but I really dont know why.

        Surprisingly there’s a lot of smaller communities that emerge once you hide politics

        !communitypromo@lemmy.ca has a pinned post with a list

  I have that on Lemmy too. I can put keywords to filter.

    That’s probably client - side, on Piefed it is built on Piefed’s side directly, so no need to use a specific client
