Having an option that treats all posts like nsfw -- click to view image -- would work, right? That sounds like something I wouldn't mind having on by default as well.
Don't know about Jerboa, but Connect for Lemmy has a feature that you can type in keywords you want to use as filters, and posts with those words in the title are automatically hidden.
I use it to filter out political posts, and after using it in this way my Lemmy experience has drastically improved. You may be able to use it in a similar way for spider related stuff, maybe Jerboa can add a similar feature.
As far as images without anything to note its a spider in the title, you'd need to add image recognition, which is something more likely to be added to Lemmys backend than as a clientside thing.
I wouldn't mind seeing spider related text posts, and would worry that filtering out the word spider would mean I don't see spider-man related things, which is quite different. I'm wanting a way to hide a post once I've already seen it so that I don't have to see it again.
To fair, I think the only way to executevthat would be to implement an image recognition algorithm, as I don't see lemmings marking arachnids as a tag on their posts even as arachnophobia is one of the most common phobias out there (to be fair, I think Mastodon has stronger culture for tagging trigger warnings).
That said, if you have SLIGHT arachnophobia, I'd almost recommed exposure thereaphy with a professional psychiatrist, as if you have some tolerance, it's easier to work on than full on panic without ant tolerance.
I think they're saying that they just want to be able to hide the post once they've seen it so it doesn't keep popping up, not to prevent from seeing it at all.
Yeah that's what I meant. I've seen the spider, I hated seeing it and don't want to see it again when I come back and restart my scrolling lol
It used to be a lot worse but I basically underwent exposure therapy by working in a place where there were tons of spiders!
But yes, as the other commenter stated, I would like to be able to hide it once I've already seen it, in order to prevent having to see it again.
I tought hiding read posts was a feature of Lemmy itself. To be fair, I swapped to Connect from Jerboa after I suggested quality of life update UI, and tge response was rather hostile in my opinion. I mention that because in Connect, hiding posts and comments is bit too easy, as I tend to do that mostly by missclicks.
That said, I'd imagine implementing a feature to hide post shouldn't be too hard of a task to program in, I'd imagine.
Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.
Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
Jerboa is made by Lemmy's developers, and is free, open-source software, meaning no advertising, monetizing, or venture capital, ever. Your donations directly support full-time development of the project.
