[Suggestion] Custom filtering of feed by keywords (mander.xyz)

10 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I'd like to tweak my feed by hiding all posts containing certain key words, e.g. 'democracy, leftists, murder, liberals, fbi, market' etc.

Basic use case: Don't like what you see? Select keyword -> click RMB -> "Fitler for a week". Now you won't see any posts with this keyword on any Lemmy instance.

Is it possible somehow? Maybe a client with this functionality exists? Does it sound useful to anyone but me?

Probably there's too small userbase for continuous subscribable block lists. I think I've seen some people sharing their blocklists on anonymous imageboards. When you can import/export block lists as plain text, probably it is enough.

Consider checking syntax where it's already implemented and adding this import/export functionality.

A step forward could've been adding some logic: e.g. some keywords are filters for posts, some for comments, some for community/instance name. Maybe complex filtering can make federated "global" feed much more satisfying.
