So I’ve been attempting to block communities I don’t want to see on my main feed, but it’s pretty much impossible to do these days because the communities get mirrored on so many different instances that when you block one single community 5 times, there are still 3 more versions on different instances with the exact same crap. Block them? There’s still more!

This site is rapidly becoming completely useless, the way I’ve been using it before.

    I’ve been using keyword blocking in uBlock Origin to clean up my all feed.

    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)

    edit lemmy.world to whatever your instance is, and the keywords to whatever stuff you don’t want to see.

      Blocking specific words tends to have unintended consequences, blocking lots of things that haven’t even been considered. It’s the communities themselves that I don’t want, like all the hyper-negative communities which are super popular, not just specific trigger words.
