I did this on Firefox, but I suspect it may work in other browers too.

  1. Install the Violentmonkey extension. Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey will also do.
  2. Install the Lemmy tools script.
  3. Browse to Lemmy
  4. Click on the screw driver icon on the LemmyTools bar that is now visible on the Lemmy page.
  5. Scroll down and check the box next to "Content Blocking"
  6. Add your block words in the "Add filters seperated by commas." box. I typed "Trump, Vance" Voila!

Most third-party Lemmy apps other than Jerboa contain some form of keyword filtering. Boost, Sync, Voyager, Eternity, and more. Mlem as well if you expand to iOS.

Sadly though I don't think any of the popular desktop frontends support filtering. I don't see it in Alexandrite, and I checked Photon and mlmym as well and also see nothing indicating that is a possibility.
