I’m starting to get tired of people talking about Reddit on Lemmy. I personally don’t care about Reddit anymore and am not interested in Reddit news.
I already blocked c/reddit that helped. Is there anything else I can do? Is there a way to hide posts that contain a keyword?
If you’re using Lemmy in a browser, you can block posts that contain certain keywords using uBlock Origin. I made a YSK post about it: https://lemmy.world/post/435133
The Connect for Lemmy app on Android has a filter-out posts by keyword feature
About the only thing we can do is unsubscribe from and block the dozen or so “Reddit Sucks” communities/magazines, and report the “We Still Hate Reddit” threads that pop up elsewhere for being posted in the wrong place (like Technology or Gaming or wherever).
How do you feel about Digg?
The same way I feel about MySpace
You wish you’d never have switched from Friendster?
I’m not sure that you really need to. It’s the hot topic of the moment for obvious reasons, but it’ll die down soon enough. Just needs a little time.
No such feature exists yet on the desktop version, but I am sure it’s on the wishlist already. Apps might be able to implement this themselves, but I can’t say whether any have yet.
Edit: clarified
Mlem on iOS seems to have that feature under Settings > Filters at least!
If it isn’t, OP should add it to the issues tracker! Adding things there gives the project leads, plus anyone who is willing to volunteer some time, to know what features people are asking for, and to choose some ready made things right off of the shelf to work on.
The devs have always been pretty helpful and responsive on Lemmy. I imagine that has changed a lot in the last few weeks, but they’re basically always checking the issues tracker.
no, but filtering per keyword would be a nice feature
I’d really love to filter “the” - just for fun
It was the same for me on Mastodon, I started regularly using it just as it all kicked off re Twitter. I got really tired of the term ‘bird site’.
After a couple of weeks that all died down. As others have said, ride it out, it won’t take long for people to stop posting about Reddit.
You see the irony here, right?
Sure but then you’ll block your own post…
One of the first things I noticed about the app Connect for Lemmy is that it has a word blacklist. I haven’t tried it, but I see it there is settings
Hopefully RES type option comes out for lemmy and kbin.
I mean you could just block the two Reddit or three communities …
The problem is when 50+ communities all start talking about something pointless Trump or Elon said. I want to be able to hide/block posts by keyword, not community.
Ironically, people who have managed to do this would not see your question
The only people I see talking about reddit are people like you complaining about unseen people complaining about reddit.
If you stop, it will stop.
Just chill for a bit.
yes in your mind. block them out in your mind
It will die down soon, once the main migration finishes.
Gonna be another spike in the next week, so probably not soon, but it will die down.
