Edit: The above Connect filter only works for title posts. It doesn't seem to filter comments or community names.
I mention this only because of some questions here and how people are going to the effort to censor out comments on this post.
Linux, game day, thulean
Linux
75% of Lemmy just gone.
The regex filtering for that probably nukes 75% of their phones battery life as well. It would be more efficient to mine Bitcoin.
Bro hided 80% of lemmy
sex, drugs, rock and roll
that's my filter for what to show
But now you're missing "man m*sk" posts 😔
Good
Beans, jeans, stör.
but the stør memes were so funny ????
I wish I could set up multiple feeds of overlapping communities, and then filter them (without multi-account).
This would allow me to read the feed I was in the mood for. Tagging would certainly help, but the per-feed filter is key.
Ah the days of RSS...
This is exactly what I have wanted as well. Not only could it consolidate content, it may help drive traffic to smaller instances.
Not working:
That exact post is what triggered this post, actually.
Where is that filter?
It depends on your Lemmy client. I only use Connect, so I can't tell you where it is in other apps, or if other apps even have it. (Settings -> Filters)
Connect is a simple app and has stabilized quite well over the last few months. Instance, community and word filters have been in the app since I started using it. (Instance filters were implemented long before Lemmy had that as a core feature.)
TBH, Connect was about as close to RIF as I could find at the time and it's been great. (It's had its share of bugs, but most are squashed now.)
That is amazeballs, thank you!
RIP card game communities
I just did the same. Breathing a little better now
Isn't it great? The m_sk spam was getting out of control here and I think everyone is sick of hearing about that other guy.
I gave it an honest shot to pay attention, in part, to that related news, but it's all the same shit. All humans will eventually get tired of a TV always being stuck on the same channel and eventually, it gets turned off.
However, there is method to the madness. If a person discards everything as trash, ie: Fake news, MSM, etc.., then they are more prone to believing lies directly from the source.
Can't find this on sync if anyone else has that.
For Sync users: Settings shortcut: Filters > Keyword filters
Thank you magic man (how the hell did you do that)

Magic man saves the day in style. Using more magic.
