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?
You must log in or register to comment.
This is already completed and will be included in the Lemmy 1.0 release.
This is awesome. I believe difference from client-side filtering is that filters will work everywhere you login with your account. Do you happen to know estimated 1.0 release date?
Yep that’s correct. Unfortunately a lot of apps start adding app-specific features (which is fine of course), but then don’t make issues upstream about the lemmy back-end supporting it everywhere. Kind of a conflict of interest where devs want you to use their apps with the most killer features, but don’t care about the rest of the eco-system or helping other apps at all.
No release date on 1.0 yet. The back-end is 99% ready, but we’re rapidly updating [lemmy-ui] to get it ready also. Then jerboa is next, then a longer period of testing and bug-fixing.
I see it exists on Voyager for iOS
Is it possible somehow? Maybe a client with this functionality exists?
I know it exists on Boost:
Full disclosure Boost isn’t FOSS if that’s a deal breaker for you. There are probably other apps with this functionality too.
Thank you, but I don’t have an Android.
Ah, my bad mate. It looks like you were able to find what you were looking for on Voyager though.
Not quite. I’d rather use Lemmy in web browser on desktop. Right now, I’m looking through these app lists: https://www.lemmyapps.com/ https://join-lemmy.org/apps https://lemmy.world/post/2609614 .
Photon, Alexandrite, mlmym are not supporting filters, but blorpblorp supports.
Blorp dev here. I also had this idea awhile back that I never built, but basically some preset blocklist you could subscribe to. Sick of US politics? You could just toggle on the US politics blocklist instead of manually adding your own terms, communities, etc. Just an idea, but I’m curious if that appeals to anyone.
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.
