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))
January 2025, I realize I don’t want to spend the whole year suffering king cunt’s awful rhetoric (it failed), I block his name with ublock. A few months later I forgot about it and spend an hour trying to figure out why I can’t find my Lemmy post mentioning Trump.
It works really well.
You’ve been living the dream, my friend.
