Is there an easy way to create blocklist of post or comment for other people? (jlai.lu)

I'll bring you straight into my mind: I was scrolling throught the n-th depressing post of the ~~day~~ hour and I thought "If I answer that post/comment by #negativity, will other people be able to filter out this content using my answer?" If not, how could we build some sort of blocklist for people to curate there experience on the fediverse.

I know I can block key word like "politics" "Trump" "Elon" but sometimes it doesn't have a precised word yet use human can categorise it easily.

I don't see this a the main way to access Lemmy or the fediverse in general but as a way to curate my browsing experience. Sometimes, I've got enough of all the negativity, sometimes I ask myself why I'm watching that many cat and dog pictures, sometimes I've got enough to hear about the last big blockbuster that I don't plan to watch. It doesn't mean I want to permanently isolate myself to such content.

I hear you. I don’t know about the rest of the apps, but Voyager has a fairly robust set of filter options. I regularly block things for non-dramatic reasons (like I just have zero interest in a specific subject that gets a lot of posts).

I’m not sure about using Lemmy through a web browser and what options that affords.

No, it has not. I used voyager for some time. It was nice and has cool features. I blocked Trump and Elon during the US election and what a relieve!
