Is there a feature on lemmy where I can automatically filter posts that contain certain keywords, similar to that on Mastodon? On Mastodon I have set a muted words filter that will catch and hide all Mastodon news and politics posts that contain Trump or Elon related keywords.

Unlike reddit, where it’s large size allows me to follow specific communities, I generally use the home page on lemmy to browse new content.

I abandoned reddit back in June 2023 and have been lurking on lemmy since that time, but recently I created an account so I could mute and filter out all the Trump and Elon content clogging the feeds. I have blocked the vast majority of all communities that have to do with news, world news, or politics, but there are still posts to do with Trump and Elon still appearing in the home page from time to time. I would love for a way to hide the remaining posts from appearing in the feed on lemmy.

      I saw that Trump and Musk are muted when not signed in, but for obvious reasons I haven’t done onboarding for a while. Neat stuff.

      I’ll just add that setting up custom filters is also easy as pie.

        Regarding the post title: Lemmy itself allows you to block communities, instances, and users. But it does not support filtering by keyword, e.g. filtering out any post with the word “platypus” in the title regardless of where it was posted or by whom. With help from the comments below, here are some third party Lemmy clients that have their own implementation of keyword filtering:

        • Boost
        • Connect
        • Eternity
        • Interstellar
        • Raccoon
        • Summit
        • Sync
        • Tesseract
        • Thunder
        • Voyager

        Do NOT support keyword filtering:

        • Alexandrite
        • Jerboa
        • Lemmy UI
        • mlmym
        • Next
        • Photon
        • Quiblr

        Comment anything I have missed or mistakes I made

        I know tesseract (an alternative front end) does. And I know that I’ve used mobile apps with that functionality before, but honestly, I don’t remember which ones had the feature and which ones didn’t, because I never used the feature, and these days, I even use tesseract on my phone.

    Put these three filters in your adblocker custom rules:

    lemmy.world##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/trump/i"))
lemmy.world##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/elon/i"))
lemmy.world##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/musk/i"))

      I filtered out all these words associated with current political headlines and now 2/3 of the threads on my front page are hidden despite me not even following a single political instance other than world news ones. Just goes to show how toxic this place has gotten recently.
