Is it possible to block communities by keyword (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

7 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I have a problem now that there are some active communities that I have no interest in seeing on my feed. And new ones keep popping up so I have to go in and block them individually. They all have similar keywords and it would be nice if we could block communities based on regexp or a keyword

Also would be nice if we could block an instance entirely from our personal feed

Yeah I've been asking for this feature too, imo it's one of the necessary features for long term survival of Lemmy as a concept, users should not have to rely on instance admins to curate their experience in that way.

You can already block communities, why would you want whole instances?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well if you want an example, I don't want porn in my feed, at all. So the ability to block lemmynsfw and that new furry one would be a simpler solution than me having to manually go to every single community on their instance and block each one, one at a time.

Just curious: what feed are you using? Local or All? I use "Subscription" (I use the Italian UI so I'm not 100% sure about the English naming) and I just see the communities I subscribed to

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I second @[email protected] ’s comment.

Local and All will show communities that you have not chosen, as well as ones you have chosen.

Set your default view to Subscribed and then only the ones you have chosen will show.

I have subs+active as my default mostly, and "show read posts" unchecked. So my feed is pretty lively with stuff I want to see.
