No such feature exists yet on the desktop version, but I am sure it’s on the wishlist already. Apps might be able to implement this themselves, but I can’t say whether any have yet.

Edit: clarified

EK13 ,

Mlem on iOS seems to have that feature under Settings > Filters at least!

Kichae ,

If it isn't, OP should add it to the issues tracker! Adding things there gives the project leads, plus anyone who is willing to volunteer some time, to know what features people are asking for, and to choose some ready made things right off of the shelf to work on.

The devs have always been pretty helpful and responsive on Lemmy. I imagine that has changed a lot in the last few weeks, but they're basically always checking the issues tracker.

Engage content that you enjoy and ride this out.

Right now lemmy’s growth is driven by people pre-emptively leaving reddit even though their choses mobile apps still function. We’ll probably see another influx come July.

But for now all we as a seed community can do is engage the other topics we enjoy and build communities that have substance.

Eventually people will join to engage those topics instead of grip reddits demise.

FearTheCron ,

Very good response. To see less complaining about Reddit, make more posts about other things. Lemmy will be what we make it. I have spent two weeks posting into the void with the community I started and I’m finally starting to see engagement. These things take time.

If you’re using Lemmy in a browser, you can block posts that contain certain keywords using uBlock Origin. I made a YSK post about it: lemmy.world/post/435133

fool5cap , to nostupidquestions in Can I block posts about Reddit?

It was the same for me on Mastodon, I started regularly using it just as it all kicked off re Twitter. I got really tired of the term ‘bird site’.

After a couple of weeks that all died down. As others have said, ride it out, it won’t take long for people to stop posting about Reddit.

thayer , to asklemmy in Which communities you feel lemmy is lacking?

Intellectually, I think lemmy already has a good grasp on topics…but I do miss the daily video content of r/crazyfuckingvideos, r/publicfreakout, and r/idiotsincars.

Ironically, people who have managed to do this would not see your question

It shows it for comments that are less than 10 minutes old.

Replace everything plastic with glass.

Royal_Bitch_Pudding ,

Unless it’s a cutting board. Plastic cutting boards are great cause you can throw them in the dish washer.

yyyesss ,

But if you do this, replace it often. Tiny cuts make places for bacteria to grow and you end up cutting tiny bits of plastic into your food.

bobert ,

Generally I completely agree, but I do have an embarrassingly large number of deli containers in various sizes. Great for leftovers or drinking water.

It will die down soon, once the main migration finishes.

Ech ,

Gonna be another spike in the next week, so probably not soon, but it will die down.

space_iio , to nostupidquestions in Can I block posts about Reddit?

I actually prefer Reddit tbh

I do too, but this thread is about ways to filter or block content so I'm not really sure what that has to do with it?

I'd love a way to filter by keyword, which the Reddit Enhancement Suite and some of the 3rd party apps allowed. Maybe the upcoming Sync for Lemmy will port over its filters by domain, user, subreddit, flair, and keyword.

As for Reddit posts invading Lemmy, it seems like most of them are contained to c/reddit and c/RedditMigration, so blocking those two should fix most of OP's issue and that's easy enough to do without any extra tools.

silent_clash , to linux in Linux for the Airheaded Layman?

Don’t use regular Arch if you’re struggling. There are some arch-based distros that are more user friendly, though. Like EndeavourOS or ArchMan. Manjaro can be good too but there are legitimate problems with how the project is run.

I was having graphics driver problems in Ubuntu-based distros until I tried Linux Mint.

If you get crashes right before or after login, it’s often a (Nvidia) graphics issue. To get around this, you could use nomodeset in the Grub menu to get a successful first boot where you can then install the proprietary drivers.

Look at sections 4 and especially 5 on this page
Also, here is that info in a tutorial format

Also, you may want to set the Desktop Environment to Xorg or X11 (same thing) if Wayland is causing you problems. It’s older, but in some cases more efficient and less experimental. Check out the section: Switching desktop environments using a graphical user interface. It should look similar to the pictures. And notice that the “gear” icon may not appear until you select a user or start typing your password.

If your problem is different than this, open a support ticket in the discord or forums of the distro you’re using. Linux Mint has a great system for this on Discord.

Tankton , to asklemmy in People around the world, do you drink tap water without boiling?

Netherlands: our tap water is better than bottled spring water

Canada: our bottled water IS tap water…

I just drink water straight from the tap

hiajen , to piracy in Are we committed to Lemmy? or would we move if something better comes along?

Looking at other fedi apps like Mastodon, accessibility and UI/UX will soon follow. Which is promising.

But yes, it’s the early days of Lemmy and maybe even the fediverse. So we’ll see what the future brings ;)

nottheengineer , to piracy in Are we committed to Lemmy? or would we move if something better comes along?

A lot of people switched to lemmy recently, so the development focus is on scaling for now. It’ll probably take a while until that’s sorted out properly and the devs can focus on accessibility.

I think lemmy is a good place for this community because we don’t need to worry about big platforms overmoderating.

wwaxwork , to cooking in What are the best cooking hacks you've learned over the years?

To actually cook things enough. I wasn’t cooking them to unsafe levels before, and please don’t cook my steak above medium rare, but some foods just taste better cooked more. Almost no one cooks ground meats enough, who the hell wants grey beef, get some color on that bitch. Also if you cook sausage meat enough it gains color and the flat renders out a little it tastes better. Get some colour on those roast veggies and no one likes a pale insipid fry. A change in color is flavor, use it to your advantage. And yes sometimes you want your veggies firm and for the love of god don’t overcook your garlic.

marron12 ,

I agree with you on getting color in your food. I think the best way to do that is to cook it at the right temperature (don’t be afraid of heat!) and don’t crowd the pan. And don’t be too stir-happy.

Ground beef, for example. You don’t have to cook it long it you start with a hot pan that’s big enough. Get a pan with a heavy bottom and heat it up empty for a minute or two on medium or medium- high heat. Plop the meat in. It should sizzle. Break it up enough for it to cover the pan, and then don’t stir for a couple minutes. You can stir it when you see some brown forming on the bottom layer.

wwaxwork ,

That was the hardest thing for me to learn to do, to just let the food be and not stir it all the time. Stirring feels like you’re doing “something” lol.

Gee2oo40 ,

Crowding the pan is my most frequent error due to laziness & rushing. I’m learning to do things in batches.

Also, chopping my vegetables in smaller pieces when stir frying.
