It's like when your friends won't stop talking about your ex.

Connect for Lemmy has that feature.

[โ€“] Loki@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

@PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S yeah, using Regex I believe.

It doesn't really filters post for me. I tried with "Threads" and "Reddit" and they kept showing up.

On what feed(s) does it have effect?

[โ€“] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not a Connect dev and the app is not open source yet, so I can't quantitatively give you an answer. As a user, it's been working fine for me on all feeds.

I recommend posting something in the Connect for Lemmy community. If a feature is broken, the dev probably wants to hear about it.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca

[โ€“] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 12 points 1 year ago

Right? Like I get it, but it's a bit much, you guys.

[โ€“] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah this place needs Reddit and Elon Musk filters real bad

Can you tell me how to find that option? I only have blocked communities, block NSFW, and and blocked users.

Nevermind, I saw the menu and assumed you could mute words as well

Can I filter out any post about Lemmy? It feels like a circlejerk sometimes

I'd love to have server-side regex killfiles for my account, not just blocked communities.

[โ€“] flashmedallion@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 year ago

That would be huge

I went to check my lemmy on my browser and it was just jacked full of meme pages amd subreddit clones that I'd blocked on my mobile client

[โ€“] curls@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I would love for this to be a feature, I want to filter out any posts that could be a trigger like sexual assault. I could do it in the reddit third party apps.

You can block communities and magazines that focus on it, which should get rid of the lion's share of Reddit-related content. It's been a bit disappointing to see so much low-effort, choir-preaching memes and content flood in. Hopefully the Fediverse can progress to a place where the primary activities extend beyond discussing the Fediverse & Reddit.

we need sometime similar to reddit enhancement studio for lemmy.

If you run your own server, you can use the slurs setting to block certain words or patterns. This will work across apps and across accounts.

For most people, any kind of word filtering needs to be implemented by the app(s) instead.

[โ€“] Jcb2016@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Memmy and Liftoff you can block communities. I haven't checked titles or words yet. usually the reddit talk is the communities itself
