Edit: The above Connect filter only works for title posts. It doesn’t seem to filter comments or community names.
I mention this only because of some questions here and how people are going to the effort to censor out comments on this post.
Linux, game day, thulean
Linux
75% of Lemmy just gone.
The regex filtering for that probably nukes 75% of their phones battery life as well. It would be more efficient to mine Bitcoin.
Bro hided 80% of lemmy
sex, drugs, rock and roll
that’s my filter for what to show
But now you’re missing “man m*sk” posts 😔
Good
Beans, jeans, stör.
but the stør memes were so funny ???
I wish I could set up multiple feeds of overlapping communities, and then filter them (without multi-account).
This would allow me to read the feed I was in the mood for. Tagging would certainly help, but the per-feed filter is key.
Ah the days of RSS…
This is exactly what I have wanted as well. Not only could it consolidate content, it may help drive traffic to smaller instances.
Not working:
That exact post is what triggered this post, actually.
Where is that filter?
It depends on your Lemmy client. I only use Connect, so I can’t tell you where it is in other apps, or if other apps even have it. (Settings -> Filters)
Connect is a simple app and has stabilized quite well over the last few months. Instance, community and word filters have been in the app since I started using it. (Instance filters were implemented long before Lemmy had that as a core feature.)
TBH, Connect was about as close to RIF as I could find at the time and it’s been great. (It’s had its share of bugs, but most are squashed now.)
I just did the same. Breathing a little better now
Isn’t it great? The m_sk spam was getting out of control here and I think everyone is sick of hearing about that other guy.
I gave it an honest shot to pay attention, in part, to that related news, but it’s all the same shit. All humans will eventually get tired of a TV always being stuck on the same channel and eventually, it gets turned off.
However, there is method to the madness. If a person discards everything as trash, ie: Fake news, MSM, etc…, then they are more prone to believing lies directly from the source.
RIP card game communities
That is amazeballs, thank you!
Can’t find this on sync if anyone else has that.
For Sync users: Settings shortcut: Filters > Keyword filters
Thank you magic man (how the hell did you do that)

Magic man saves the day in style. Using more magic.
