I’m looking for mobile solutions specifically.

    If you do that, how will you stay up to date on my 172-part saga on various animal musk scents that I’ve recently smelled in my neighborhood?

      well I’m going to have the keyword musk blocked, but I’m going to allow exceptions for “died”, " comedic drowning", or “scent”.

      Good call. Fortunately, many annoying topics and people have very distinct names. My US elections candidates filter for example is working very well and toning the flood of news articles a bit down 😆

      Though, now that I’m thinking of it… Maybe I’m missing out on news on trumpets and whatever Harrison Ford does?!

      Yeah, keyword filtering isn’t a default feature (yet) @[email protected]. I’m not sure which apps/frontends enable keyword filtering, but I think Voyager on mobile does, not sure which web frontends do.

    On browser you can put this onto your uBlock origin filters. Just make sure the instance in the beginning matches yours.

    sh.itjust.works##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/musk/i"))

    Or for lemmy.world user

    lemmy.world##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/musk/i"))

      I can’t see any reason why anybody would get upset about Palestine.

    I selfishly want someone to get around to making RES for Lemmy already. The number of amazing features in that add-on was fantastic.

    Even if you do, the people who incessantly post about him do their best to evade your filters and make you read about him anyway. Most often they just refer to him generically without using his name, or they’ll misspell it like mysk, or call him something like “muskrat,” or it’ll be in the pic/comments but not the title/OPpost, or it’ll be about tesla, the cybertruck, whatever the hell musk adjacent shit I don’t care about, etc.

    I wish you luck. If you succeed please share your tips for the rest of us, it’s just so goddamn omnipresent and I’d like to filter it too.

    I think this would be very popular and way back there was a thread about it. It sounded like it may be possible with some app front ends.

    Sorry, I can’t seem to find it, but I can tell you that those filters exist on mastodon. I am using them a lot there.
