Anyone know how to filter my online experience? (lemmy.world)

The last time Trump won, there was this constant barrage of scandals and frankly horrifying news permeating my online experience. And while I admit that from my European perspective, there was some entertainment in the whole thing, the experience was more exhausting than anything else.

I like to keep up with the news, but I also like my mental health. Are there any effective strategies for keeping the amount of trump-spam I’m exposed to at an absolute minimum, while also keeping up with whatever else is going on in the world?

Unfortunately, posts that do include the keyword in the text but not in the title, still get through. Case in point, this one.

It's true, it also doesn't block images that have these words, but you filter more than 90% of the posts that you wouldn't want to see.
