        Sometimes that’s not enough. I used to get Poilitical memes in the regular memes channels

      it’s more about what kind of news pop up in the feed overly frequently. i don’t give a shit about US elections or Musk, and I don’t want to be confronted with war permanently either. i can’t remember seeing many posts about nazis on lemmy, but i wouldn’t mind reading about them being arrested, extradited or trampled by elephants, so they may stay off the list for now

      Well mostly the only people using the word Nazi are calling out the Nazis. The Nazis themselves don’t claim to be Nazis. In fact the Nazis very often say Nazis don’t exist, and then go on to define a Nazi as strictly a member of the Nazi Socialist Party from ~WW2 and deny all other usages.

    But then I’d only be viewing 5% of the content Lemmy makes available for me today.

        That’s true,
        but hey, filtering and blocking out 90% of the unwanted/negative content is already way better then getting blasted by the full 100%! :D

    Secret lifehack I found just the other day, block the lemmit bot that reposts stuff from Reddit.

      Extentions.

      In uBock Origin on the dashboard I added:

      lemmy.world##article:has-text(/elon/i)

      And that blocks any federated posts and comments with that text in the body while browsing lemmy.world. It does not block poats with elon in the title but no body text, so there is probably a title-has-text but I havn’t messed around with that.

      Add a new row per term you want filtered.

      I then turn uBlock on and off for lemmy.world depending on whether I want it to be filtered or not, since it doesn’t normally block anything on lemmy.world.

      I’m sure there is an easier extension to use, just showing one way on desktop.

    I just set subscribed to my default and prune my subscriptions. I like some politics, but I get enough from what seeps through in News, so I un-subbed from politics. I will seek out meme communities that are my speed and leave the rest to their own devices. I just take a peek at “all” every once in a while, and I tend to check out links people post in comments that interest me, but for the most part I have my corner of Lemmy more or less how I want it.
