Without that level control over my feed, I’ll probably go back to the other place. I thought self-determination is part of the fediverse mission, but so far that is much easier on reddit. Is that feature in planning for any of the major hubs (kbin/lemmy/beehaw)?
If you run your own instance, you can set up words to block in the admin settings. I don’t see any settings at the user level though.
You can create an enhancement request on the GitHub project for lemmy. That would be a nice feature.
That’s an interesting thought… haven’t considered that!
That’s how I believe federation works. So everything I’m subscribed to with my user on my instance is pulled in and kept in sync. If the origin instance of the community goes down, everything that was synced up to that point still exists on my instance and I can read it.
You’re more likely to see it in a third-party interface. The list of fixes and features the developers are working on is long and there are more fundamental issues to address first. It’s also a volunteer effort with essentially two people doing the work.
If this requirement is related to things that may be triggering etc. you probably will be happier at beehaw.
Instances have filters in the admin settings, but for a user level filter there isn’t one yet. The devs are overwhelmed trying to get some key performance stuff out, but I can’t see them turning down a feature patch if you want to write it and create a pull request.
So far this isn’t possible, if I am not mistaken, but it surely might be a useful tool for customising the experience here for the future.
