I did this on Firefox, but I suspect it may work in other browers too.

  1. Install the Violentmonkey extension. Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey will also do.
  2. Install the Lemmy tools script.
  3. Browse to Lemmy
  4. Click on the screw driver icon on the LemmyTools bar that is now visible on the Lemmy page.
  5. Scroll down and check the box next to "Content Blocking"
  6. Add your block words in the "Add filters seperated by commas." box. I typed "Trump, Vance" Voila!

This kind of filrter would be very helful if it was built into the site. Being able to block words/subjects.

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Petition to add this as an actual feature that could block posts, communities, comments amd users /srs

there is a feature request for mbin to implement this. ive started noodling on the code to potentially contribute. i want it for the same reasons

[–] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or...

lemm.ee##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/Trump/i"))

Put that into your adblocker custom filters. Just change the lemm.ee to lemmy.world (or what ever instance you're on)

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

How would you add more terms?
"/Trump/Musk/i" or "/Trump, Musk/i"

[–] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You need to duplicate the whole thing and just replace the filter word with some other

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

That works, thank you so much!

[–] computabloke@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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 too for iOS users. Closest app to Apollo in the beforefore times.

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How can I do that? I couldn't find it on the settings.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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!

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] gressen@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's strange. I'm running same version. Someone mentioned that it's not available on iPhone, perhaps that's the reason?

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think so. I'm on Android.

[–] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That feature is not on the iOS version sadly.

[–] Confused_Emus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s in mine. App version 2.18.5.

[–] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ah, solved it. Need to be logged in before it appears.

epic thanks

I know you may be exhausted hearing their names and reading the news about them. But ignoring them won’t make the problem go away or the situation any better. Don’t look away. Get angry, then find a way to get even.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

True, but as a non US person I don't give a shit about US politics or personalities.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't forget, the US has nukes. We're everybody's problem.

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We just assume you're dumb enough to nuke yourself.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They have almost nuked them a couple times.

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

if all the nukes America has went off at once, wouldn't it be enough to destroy the planet or something?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

We live in a global society, my friend.

Unfortunately they affect us all.

[–] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Being constantly angry and circlejerking about it with other angry people won't make the problem go away either.

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you know what it will help with? my exhaustion. you cannot get 'angry' if you are completely fucking drained of energy. these people just want a break.

[–] hohoho@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s what they want though. They want us to be miserable and exhausted. This is our time to stand guard over Democracy so we can safely pass the baton to the next generation. Are you going to give them what they want?

[–] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dont have anything left to give. youre not getting more blood from this stone regardless of how much you guilt trip me

[–] hohoho@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not trying to guilt trip you Mr Lucifer. Take all the time you need. Just know that some of us still have a lot of fight left in them. Feel free to jump in if/when you have the strength to show these Nazi scum what’s wrong and what’s right

yes, im not saying 'no' forever. but i know me and my friends who ran phone banks and did all the things need a break after the last cycle. i know we cant wait 4 years to act.. or even 2.. but were all very tired.
