  I use boost and it has a block/ban list of words in titles of posts. I have maybe 50 or 60 words in there and it really helps.

      Based on this list, maybe you need a niche and cozier community instead of a link aggregator. Have you considered starting your own community? Or maybe only subbing to communities which match your hobby?

        Lemmy has such a small user base that the niche communities I do sub to get almost no new content at all. Lemmy is literally the only platform I can browse on my phone when I’m bored. I don’t have any other social media, games or anything. It takes about 3 minutes for me to scroll thru my subscribed feed after which I start browsing all where I’m blocking several uninteresting communities a day to make my feed even remotely interesting.

        I have created a community on another account but it quiets down immediately when I stop posting. The equivalent one on reddit gets probably 30 new threads each day.

      I gotta ask, what’s with the Kermit, Sailor Moon, Heathcliff filters?

        People were posting a ton of Kermit and Sailor Moon AI content a while back and I wasn’t interested in seeing it. Same applies to the Heathcliff comic.

      Why helldivers? I haven’t even heard that game talked about in like, over a month.

        Many of the filters are outdated but I just don’t remove them. Lemmy has these certain topics that start trending and then there’s constant articles being posted about them because people notice it’s a popular topic. If it’s something I’m not interested in I’ll just pre-emptively block it after seeing few similar threads in a row. Same as with the Kermit/Sailor moon AI content for example.
