You can use uBlock Origin to block certain keywords in posts!
Why
If you’re like me, you’re really tired of seeing the lemmy homepage and every community fill up with really bad news from the US.
How
First, open the uBlock Origin dashboard, navigate to My Filters tab and add the appropriate line.
# lemmy.world
# thanks to /u/zkfcfbzr
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/Trump|Musk|ICE|Vance|slop|Microsoft|Grok|Republican|Democrat|Republicans|GOP|Democrats/i)
# lemmy.zip
lemmy.zip##article.row:has-text(/Trump|Musk|ICE|Vance|slop|Microsoft|Grok|Republican|Democrat|Republicans|GOP|Democrats/i)
Because the Lemmy HTML is generally the same on each instance, the above should work if you change the first part to the Lemmy domain. Then replace the | pipe separated keywords with your own list.
Here are some other things you can do:
# filter comments
# thanks to /u/Free_Opinions@feddit.uk
lemmy.world##article.comment-node:has(div.comment-content:has(p:has-text(/trump/i)))
# filter posts with certain words, with exceptions
# thanks to /u/zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world
lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/word1|word2|word3/i):not(:has-text(/word4|word5|word6/i))
I want to see zero anime and zero furry shit.
That’s fair, I’m a bit weirded out by furry stuff too. (But of course I think they should be free to express themselves however they wish, and if they want to do that, it doesn’t affect me negatively in any way)
I don’t care what you do, but I reserve the right to not want to see it.
Amen
My trick: I ended up just blocking 5 or 6 total users and see almost none of it.
Good idea. I was blocking communities
Yeah, that’s what I tried first, but it was basically a game of whack-a-moe.
I don’t like the nuclear option of outright blocking people, but blocking a single person is easier than blocking two dozen communities, and it future proofs it when they continue making new ones.
That’s pretty clever
Can’t say it’s original, I definitely stole it from someone else here who had the same grievance.
If you didn’t say anything, I wouldn’t have known, and you could have taken credit
Fucking crying laughing about shared moe trauma and whack a moe

Be the change you want to see ✨
Sorry, I can only upvote you with head-thumping enthusiasm.
Fucking normies…
Same. I finally managed to get most of it blocked.
