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?

    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.

    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

          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.

    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.

    I’m not sure that you really need to. It’s the hot topic of the moment for obvious reasons, but it’ll die down soon enough. Just needs a little time.

    no, but filtering per keyword would be a nice feature

    I’d really love to filter “the” - just for fun

    The only people I see talking about reddit are people like you complaining about unseen people complaining about reddit.

    If you stop, it will stop.

    Just chill for a bit.

      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.

      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.

    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!
