I did this on Firefox, but I suspect it may work in other browers too.
- Install the Violentmonkey extension. Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey will also do.
- Install the Lemmy tools script.
- Browse to Lemmy
- Click on the screw driver icon on the LemmyTools bar that is now visible on the Lemmy page.
- Scroll down and check the box next to “Content Blocking”
- Add your block words in the “Add filters seperated by commas.” box. I typed “Trump, Vance” Voila!
While we’re at it, any recommendations for a Lemmy Android client that can do the same?
Jerboa doesn’t appear to have anything other than blocking by: site, community or user.
Voyager
How can I do that? I couldn’t find it on the settings.
I’ve been looking for that forever! Idk how tf I missed it. I guess because I never scrolled to the bottom, and thought it only has community filters. Thank you!
Would you believe me when I say that it simply doesn’t appears in my screen???
P.S.: Voyager 2.18.4, by the way, not my main app but I have it installed.
That’s strange. I’m running same version. Someone mentioned that it’s not available on iPhone, perhaps that’s the reason?
I don’t think so. I’m on Android.
That feature is not on the iOS version sadly.
It’s in mine. App version 2.18.5.
Ah, solved it. Need to be logged in before it appears.
Voyager too for iOS users. Closest app to Apollo in the beforefore times.
Most third-party Lemmy apps other than Jerboa contain some form of keyword filtering. Boost, Sync, Voyager, Eternity, and more. Mlem as well if you expand to iOS.
Sadly though I don’t think any of the popular desktop frontends support filtering. I don’t see it in Alexandrite, and I checked Photon and mlmym as well and also see nothing indicating that is a possibility.
its on the list for mbin

Boost can do that. Just go to settings and search for block it will show you an option to block words
Does it work for you on Boost? I’ve blocked some communities and keywords with Boost, but sometimes they still do show up for me in New
For me it does work, but I am only scrolling in all never in new
