Can I filter out posts that contain the word "Reddit" ?

For a few years I've made it a personal point not to read any political coverage with overblown action verbs in the title like "X slams Y over spending bill" or "Y attacks Z". It's subjective but I swear it has genuinely helped my mental health. A filter that does this would definitely be nice now that you mention it!
It will be so important once US election cycle comes around. It became a game of wack a mole individually blocking subreddits versus just setting relevant keywords to make the reddit viewing experience wonderful as opposed to a rage inducing. We need a Fediverse Enhancement Suite.
The last US election cycle taught me how to block keywords in RiF. By the time I left Reddit, my blacklist had hundreds of entries.
I notice that the Connect app for Lemmy has an option to block keywords. Definitely planning to take full advantage of that in the next cycle.
You can block the whole Fediverse community. I did. Like, it's helpful. I also blocked asklemmy. Also helpful. I haven't blocked it on kbin, though. It doesn't matter, I see shit I'm not subscribed to when I filter by "subscribed" still. I think filtering by keyword is going to be a long time away. You can be obnoxious as a commenter, though. When you see the keyword, say something contrary in a comment. That could be fun.
