is there a way to block posts via keyword?
is there a way to block posts via keyword?
i am going to go insane if I see another Elon Musk post.
please tell me there is a way to block via keyword.
Sync and Boost both offer keyword filtering. That's why I finally decided to use Sync, it was the first app to allow blocking entire instances and filter by keyword. Lemmy is a pretty great place, once you can filter out all the noise.
11Voyager and Mlem offer it on iOS.
3Voyager doesn’t offer keyword blocking.

The API doesn't let you block by keyword but I'm pretty sure a few Lemmy clients offer keyword filtering.
11I use Sync and if you had put Musk or Twitter in the headline, I'd never have seen this.
What sucks is that I can't block "x" because too many other headlines have X in the word and the filter strips leading and trailing spaces from the keyword.
5I can't block "x"
I think that's part of why he did it.
4I'm sure it played a part

I haven't tried this myself but but you should be able to do it by creating custom rules on your adblocker
Example:
lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(Blockchain)
lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(ChatGPT)
4Has-text is case sensitive. Adding / before the keyword and /i after will set it to case insensitive.
Example:
lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain/i)
You can also use | to add multiple keywords to the filter.
Example:
lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain|ChatGPT/i)

Fyi, there is a feature request on lemmy repository talking about this: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3710
3You can do it in a lot of apps/front ends
Which app are you using?
3I'm just talking about on the website, should have clarified.

Maybe you can try getting it added to this userscript?
Oh, I misread keyword and keyboard.
Still, take a look here and see if anything adds it.
