Comment on How can users avoid bad content on Lemmy (particularly rule breaking or illegal comments/posts?

Lemmy can block words, communities, or entire instances, if you know what your blocking for. Often illegal or excessive content will get reported by other users who browse new before it hits hot. But without forcing everything posted under a moderator review first, I’m not sure you could achieve perfect preemptive filtering.

Lemmy does not support blocking posts, users, instances, communities or comments natively. That is a client sided feature of Voyager.

  Huh I see, but I wonder it appears to sync with the website? Is this coordinated outside the lemmy server?

    I don’t know. But Lemmy does not block based on keyword natively. You can just add them manually, but no automatic blocking is possible yet.

I don’t think the web ui has the keyword block function, but some lemmy apps seem to. I couldn’t find it on the web ui atleast.

  Interesting, TIL keyword filtering is still a WIP, frontends are doing their own locally. Tesseract is available on lemmy.zip, it has filters but is a quite different experience.

  You can block posts, not comments with uBlock origin by using a custom filter
