I still feel like this is a bad idea, but it keeps coming up.
How do you envision this working? You type in a word or phrase in your feed options, and it hides everything containing it? Or something at the account level, where it checks everything?
My thoughts are, putting a time limit on it might be a good idea, and doing some statistics to make it a little smart (although I’d have to spend a day deep diving into language theory, so I’ll probably wait until I look at custom feed algorithms down the line)
I used Apollo for Reddit. It had filters and it worked beautifully. It pruned my timelines and kept me from doom scrolling. It’s should be possible locally to just remove posts with the filtered keyword from parsing on your timeline
Huh… Well that makes things easier now that I could just see how they did it
I mean, I still don’t get it, but if that’s all people are asking for, I knocked it out while writing this reply.
Posts I can just set aside easy enough, do you know how Apollo handled comments? I could throw out the filtered post and any replies to it, auto collapse it with a “filtered” message, make it look like it’s deleted and just show the replies
Is there any way to filter out keywords on Lemmy? I’m sick of hearing about these assholes. It’s what they want.
yeah i too would appreciate keyword-based filters.

i think you’re overcomplicating this a bit. a list of regexps in the user profile would work.
