I thought it was a great idea when I read it in this comment. That way, if you didn't want to hear about Reddit, you wouldn't have to.
Lemmy could have a filter so that people don't have to read content they don't want

This, and the ability to use flairs would be really useful here on Lemmy. Flairing posts was such an essential way to organise posts on a lot of specific subreddits.
That kind of feature is so needed

Flairs would be good to have, I agree. But aren’t flairs just a special case of hashtags? Could we implement it on top of the hashtag model?

I can't help but wonder if this would be better served at the client level. Either way I miss this feature.

You are right. I moved it to the ui.

The Connect app on Android already has a lot of great filtering options. You can filter posts that contain certain words, and I believe it just added the ability to hide entire instances.

Yup, you can block instances, communities, and by keyword like you mentioned.

Yes please. My blocklist on R....t had so many random words I just prefer to avoid for whatever reason. I worry for my state of mind as Lemmy grows and they start appearing.
I think on R it was part of the API, but I'm not sure.
Btw why post this in shower thoughts and not somewhere Lemmy related? Tbh it's also a tad annoying seeing meta Lemmy posts everywhere. Nostupidquestions is nothing but Lemmy already

I just want to filter by language first. I can only read English. So i dont want to see all the german (or others) communities that keep popping up.
InternetPirate@lemmy.fmhy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
I always see german posts in english because of the the web translation extension. The only reason I know it's german is because of the language tag.
