I like the Trump filter. Please include one that filters posts about so-called "AI". Or other hypes. (news.erebion.eu)

There's no such thing as artificial intelligence, those machines aren't more intelligence than a load of bread.

Although, not that I'm thinking about it, maybe mold is more intelligent than "AI", lol

I'm just so tired of seeing it everywhere. I wish I could just easily filter out what the current hype is... For a while it was Bitcoin, then NFTs, now it "thinking computers"...

Topics usually are the most interesting while they're not part of a hypecycle.

I'd just like to filter out the latest hype, as it causes too much noise.

Haven't checked much of PieFed, but if it has domain-blocking feature and you notice a given news site reports a lot on {current hype} and/or {current fad}, you could try blocking it too.

And if PieFed doesn't have the function, you could possibly still hide such posts with Ublock Origin. Did it with Lemmy when I used mainly it and it worked well enough.

Also, something else:
The user wjs in another comment suggested custom keyword filters too. A similar thing can be achieved with Ublock Origin filters if you wish to use it instead.
