I got tired of seeing trump face everywhere and a kind user by the name of SubArcticTundra shared his keyword based block list as images. I wrote them down and am sharing them with anyone else that is tired of constantly seeing USA politics on his feed.
it should work on sync, Connect and eternity since they have keyword based filtering . Voyager , liftoff and jerboa don't have this feature (yet).
here's the list in text format for direct use on connect (i didn't use some of the keywords he shared to minimize collateral damage on actual world news posts that may be interesting ) :
gop, jan, maga, representatives, congress, biden, trump, desantis, far right, alt-right, democrat, democrats, republican, republicans
It may not work 100% of the time but it should drastically decrease the constant spam of political news / trump pictures.
I’m sure it’s been insufferable with all our bullshit. Thanks for helping others avoid our noise.
It never really bothered me till recently. The spam of trump face was literally hogging most of my feed.
I have never understood why people would like Lemmy and then look at any feed other than subscribed. You might as well use mastodon if just a free flow of posts is your thing. I do like the list of keywords though for those rare occasions I look at the universal feed.
Lemmy is still too small. It got barely enough (interesting ) content by browsing all
I find I have plenty of content. It's not the firehose of content on Reddit but that means I am not tempted to doomscroll for hours.
It depends on your instance but yeah. Lemmy content is still mostly interesting stuff.
