Lemmy: Filtering words only filters in posts and not comments? (lemmy.world)

Hi there,

Been using a keywords list on Lemmy to filter out specific words or topics. It works well with the posts, but not in comments of posts.

Is there something being misunderstood? Please help, would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Lemmy doesn't have this feature.

You'll want to hit up the dev-team of whatever app you're using.

Generally lemmy is good at searching posts but poor if nonexistent comment systems. I tried looking into a similar thing before, although it was trying to find topics in comment sections, not filter them.
