Watching as I'm curious

There's no way to do so at the moment.

The only way to handle this issue is to consolidate communities.

There were a few last year IIRC

Interesting.

Same as for Twitter, ideal would be for people to move to Lemmy Mbin Piefed, but if they can at least leave Reddit, that's good

Lemmy is an alternative to Reddit, you can visit https://phtn.app/ to have a look at the content, and install an app using https://vger.app/settings/install.

Cool post, feel free to crosspost to [email protected] 😄

[–] [email protected] 10 points 16 hours ago

Lemmy Mbin and Piefed are completely compatible.

The quirks between Mastodon and those 3 comes from the format difference

Ask your instance admins to implement similar measures: https://lemmy.ca/post/40761824

[email protected] by the way

 

Please mention yours which I'm sure is missing, the second lists has literally 46 apps

Some other people had suggestions for other apps (such as Voyager) having built-in keyword filters, feel free to have a look at the original post

Why YSK: Certain topics are stressful and tend to spread all over the site, including to unrelated communities. Blocking communities can be overkill and ineffective, and likewise for blocking individual users.

To do so, open up the uBlock Origin dashboard, go to the 'My filters' tab, and add this filter:

lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/word1|word2|word3|word4/i)

For example:

lemmy.world##article.row:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi/i)

Then apply the changes and reload any open tabs, and all posts which contain any of your filtered words will simply not show up.

You'll have to change "lemmy.world" at the start to whatever your actual instance is. You can filter as many or as few words as you want, just keep the / at the start, the /i at the end, and separate words with | pipes. What's actually being filtered is a case-insensitive regex, if you want to get fancy with it.

Here are equivalent filters for reddit and Ars Technica:

reddit.com##div.thing[data-context="listing"]:has-text(/word1|word2|word3|word4/i)
arstechnica.com##:not(:not(head>title:has-text(/^Ars Technica/))) article:has-text(/word1|word2|word3|word4/i)
arstechnica.com##:not(:not(head>title:has-text(/Serving the Technologist/))) article:has-text(/Trump|Elon|Musk|nazi|doge|maga/i)

As a disclaimer, I made these myself, and I'm not particularly familiar with creating uBlock Origin filters. There may be better ways to do this. Also the reddit one is specific to old.reddit.com, and the lemmy filter is made to work with the default lemmy.world web UI and may not work on other UIs without tinkering.

Yes, I know I'm just hiding my head in the sand

Didn't think about it before, but saw this thread: https://lemmy.world/post/26747873

Lemmy tends to have duplicate communities between different instances for many subjects, and this can make it hard to find information here. For instance, if i want to know if anyone has made a constructed language for birds, i have to go to the communities list and search for “conlang” and “constructed language”, open every relevant community i find, and search each of those.

The Lemmy search feature quite good, but having all the knowledge about one topic on one community makes it even better

There is a GitHub issue, but no planned deadline: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/818

 

YSK because this can help with the smaller quantity of content Lemmy has. Coming back to older threads to look at new comments to ongoing discussions is a way to solve that issue.

 

[email protected]

Why? To try a "third way" between [email protected] and [email protected]

Those kind of communities tend to get quite popular anyway, as they're quite generic. Its scope is also broader than [email protected]

I also feel like new comers are probably used to a higher rhythm of content, do maybe that could be a community that could help with that to ensure that Lemmy can actually become a Reddit alternative for them
