I'm looking for mobile solutions specifically.

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

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.

Will i be cancelled for adding palestine to my list of blocked words?

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

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

On Android, I use the Connect app, and it has this feature.

Thanks for reminding me it's there, gonna go add a few filter words now

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

thank you, I appreciate it.

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?

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago

“scent”

You are braver than I am.

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?!

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

What does Ford have to do with politics? Unless you meant Harris, but then that's easily solved by blocking only whole words.

[–] CmdrShepard42@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

Maybe Doug Ford the famous meth smoking politician from Canada or his brother Rob (or vice versa?)?

Voyager for iOS has keyword block under Settings -> Filters & Blocks

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

rad, thanks

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 11 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That depends on the app or frontend you're using.

[–] ElectroVagrant@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, keyword filtering isn't a default feature (yet) @Varyk@sh.itjust.works. I'm not sure which apps/frontends enable keyword filtering, but I think Voyager on mobile does, not sure which web frontends do.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

cool, thanks. i will be trying all these suggestions out.

I'm looking for mobile solutions, I'll add that to the post

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 2 points 4 hours ago

Tesseract and Photon do on the web. Maybe others, but I know those two do.

[–] Tazerface@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

There is an app for android called Thunder that can do this.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago

awesome, thank you

[–] it_depends_man@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 hours ago

okay, great, I just wanted to know it was a thing before I went digging around too much, so this helps
