I would love to sometimes filter out any and all political posts, I think having this enabled as default on some instances would also be preferred by some users.

I'm a software dev, if it doesn't require a lot of work I'm happy to make a Pull Request for this feature, but do people want this? Is there anyone I should maybe talk to before starting, or anything I should know?

Edit: I realise it won't filter out ALL political posts, but even if it only catches half of the stuff, it could make the difference between being flooded with Trump/Musk news and not.

Some new users might turn away before knowing the can set filters etc. (which also aren't perfect)

We can filter out NSFW work

[citation needed]

I have that turned on, and I heavily lean on blocking communities and users, and I still get NSFW shit fairly regularly.

I've been on Lemmy for years and have yet to see a single nsfw post.

I didn't realize they even existed.

Maybe it’s not a Lemmy thing and it’s an app thing, but Voyager has a setting to hide NSFW content.
