I’m starting to get tired of people talking about Reddit on Lemmy. I personally don’t care about Reddit anymore and am not interested in Reddit news.
I already blocked c/reddit that helped. Is there anything else I can do? Is there a way to hide posts that contain a keyword?
You must log in or register to comment.
yes in your mind. block them out in your mind
Go back to Reddit if you don’t like posts about Reddit. I hear Reddit has a lot posts about Lemmy.
It will die down soon, once the main migration finishes.
Gonna be another spike in the next week, so probably not soon, but it will die down.
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.
Sure but then you’ll block your own post…
Ironically, people who have managed to do this would not see your question
About the only thing we can do is unsubscribe from and block the dozen or so “Reddit Sucks” communities/magazines, and report the “We Still Hate Reddit” threads that pop up elsewhere for being posted in the wrong place (like Technology or Gaming or wherever).
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
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.
Mlem on iOS seems to have that feature under Settings > Filters at least!
The Connect for Lemmy app on Android has a filter-out posts by keyword feature
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.
I don’t really have a preference between either of them. Reddit is only better because that is where most people are.
Reddit definitely has better features. It’s not even a competition. The reason we’re here is because of the Reddit administration and because of future potential. Eg, the apps are so new right now that Reddit’s official app is better. But in a couple of months, that won’t be the case anymore.
How do you feel about Digg?
The same way I feel about MySpace
You wish you’d never have switched from Friendster?
One of the first things I noticed about the app Connect for Lemmy is that it has a word blacklist. I haven’t tried it, but I see it there is settings
Hopefully RES type option comes out for lemmy and kbin.
I mean you could just block the two Reddit or three communities …
The problem is when 50+ communities all start talking about something pointless Trump or Elon said. I want to be able to hide/block posts by keyword, not community.
I don’t mind the Reddit posts until 7/1. On that day, if the apps go offline, Reddit will have won for all intents and purposes and it’ll be time for Kbin and Lemmy to just be themselves and stop talking about Reddit.
no, but filtering per keyword would be a nice feature
I’d really love to filter “the” - just for fun
You see the irony here, right?
