Sync and Boost both offer keyword filtering. That’s why I finally decided to use Sync, it was the first app to allow blocking entire instances and filter by keyword. Lemmy is a pretty great place, once you can filter out all the noise.

Voyager and Mlem offer it on iOS.

The API doesn’t let you block by keyword but I’m pretty sure a few Lemmy clients offer keyword filtering.

I haven’t tried this myself but but you should be able to do it by creating custom rules on your adblocker

Example:

lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(Blockchain)

lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(ChatGPT)

Has-text is case sensitive. Adding / before the keyword and /i after will set it to case insensitive.

Example:

lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain/i)

You can also use | to add multiple keywords to the filter.

Example:

lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain|ChatGPT/i)

I use Sync and if you had put Musk or Twitter in the headline, I’d never have seen this.

What sucks is that I can’t block “x” because too many other headlines have X in the word and the filter strips leading and trailing spaces from the keyword.

I can’t block “x”

I think that’s part of why he did it.

I’m sure it played a part

Maybe you can try getting it added to this userscript?

Oh, I misread keyword and keyboard.

Still, take a look here and see if anything adds it.

Fyi, there is a feature request on lemmy repository talking about this: github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3710

otter ,

You can do it in a lot of apps/front ends

Which app are you using?

I’m just talking about on the website, should have clarified.

TheYear2525 ,

Which website?

DrQuint ,

Probably lemmy.world since that’s where their user is seeded.

And I wouldn’t know. I use voyager.
