Tired of seeing posts about Threads, for example. I would appreciate being able to apply a soft (show that post exists but collapsed and with warning) or hard mute (don’t display the post) of posts with that keyword (in title or body).

I’ve checked our settings pages of both apps so apologies if it’s super obvious and I’m just missing it - but I don’t see this functionality. Haven’t checked out repo either I guess I should do that next or do a more thorough search but wanted to just try and ask community as well.

The connect app has a filter feature

Ironic since this community isn't for "how to lemmy" questions.

I’m not sure if there is a way on the web interfaces, but many of the mobile apps being developed incorporate filter lists for keywords. I remember I used Mlem’s filters during the beans trend since I wasn’t interested in those posts.

Whoops didn't mean to delete my post - was editing and accidentally deleted.

Thank you! I have Mlem and indeed there are filters in the settings.

Omg of course! I have Mlem set up. And indeed it does have filters in the settings.

I guess I've been using the web app and Wefwef PWA more than Mlem but this is probably reason enough for me to use it over others - until they hopefully build it in too!

Thank you.

Edit: Looks like it's a hard filter only -- fine by me.

If you're an admin, you can set slur words as a regex in the settings. For example, I've set certain fruit computers as slur words, so I just see redacted in place of these words. And you can't post messages with these words from my instance.
