It's like when your friends won't stop talking about your ex.

Connect for Lemmy has that feature.

[โ€“] Loki@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

@PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S yeah, using Regex I believe.

It doesn't really filters post for me. I tried with "Threads" and "Reddit" and they kept showing up.

On what feed(s) does it have effect?

[โ€“] PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not a Connect dev and the app is not open source yet, so I can't quantitatively give you an answer. As a user, it's been working fine for me on all feeds.

I recommend posting something in the Connect for Lemmy community. If a feature is broken, the dev probably wants to hear about it.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca

[โ€“] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.one 15 points 1 year ago

Right? Like I get it, but it's a bit much, you guys.

[โ€“] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 year ago

Yeah this place needs Reddit and Elon Musk filters real bad

Can I filter out any post about Lemmy? It feels like a circlejerk sometimes

Can you tell me how to find that option? I only have blocked communities, block NSFW, and and blocked users.

Nevermind, I saw the menu and assumed you could mute words as well

I'd love to have server-side regex killfiles for my account, not just blocked communities.

[โ€“] flashmedallion 2 points 1 year ago

That would be huge

I went to check my lemmy on my browser and it was just jacked full of meme pages amd subreddit clones that I'd blocked on my mobile client

[โ€“] Sweetyellowwatermelon@waveform.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

we need sometime similar to reddit enhancement studio for lemmy.

I would love for this to be a feature, I want to filter out any posts that could be a trigger like sexual assault. I could do it in the reddit third party apps.

[โ€“] crowsby@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You can block communities and magazines that focus on it, which should get rid of the lion's share of Reddit-related content. It's been a bit disappointing to see so much low-effort, choir-preaching memes and content flood in. Hopefully the Fediverse can progress to a place where the primary activities extend beyond discussing the Fediverse & Reddit.

[โ€“] Jcb2016@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Memmy and Liftoff you can block communities. I haven't checked titles or words yet. usually the reddit talk is the communities itself
