I’m now at the point where my blocklist of communities is a multiple of the number of my subscriptions. A lot of my blocked communities have similar or even the same titles across different Lemmy instances, e.g., ‘politics’, ‘news’, ‘memes’. New ones pop up every time I visit ‘all’ and it would be so nice if I didn’t have to go through blocking each individual one each time. I understand that nobody has a working regex block at the moment but I’ve seen mentioned in several places that LemmyConnect has a keyword filter. Please can someone show me where it is?
Thanks
Hi, there is a ‘Filters’ setting on the main Settings page (just below Show NSFW and above Text Size options), it accepts both text and regex (in /this/ format) and will block any post which has a title or body that contains one of the filtered words.
Thanks so much! Will try this!
Really sorry. I currently have this set for followers but it doesn’t seem to be working for me:
politics, news, memes, /politics/, /news/, /memes/
Hi, no worries! Just to confirm with those 6 filters active you are still seeing posts with for example ‘news’ in the post title or description?
As per original post I am trying to block/filter communities, e.g. I am able to extract the following list of communities from my current manual blocklist with this regex:
^(?!.*Meme|.*meme|.*News|.*news|.*politic|.*Politic).*$
Memes@lemmy.ml Lord of the memes@midwest.social politics @lemmy.world News@lemmy.world Politics@beehaw.org Fox News World News@lemmygrad.ml World News@lemmy.ml World News@lemmy.world United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml Hacker News@derp.foo U.S. News@beehaw.org Politics@lemmy.ml news@hexbear.net Interesting News from Around the World@lemmy.zip CanadaPolitics@lemmy.ca news@lemm.ee memes@hexbear.net Memes@sopuli.xyz Antique Memes Roadshow@lemmy.world politicus@midwest.social Australian Politics@aussie.zone US News@lemmygrad.ml Atheist Memes@lemmy.world United States | News & Politics@midwest.social Dank Memes@lemmy.world Political Memes@lemmy.world linuxmemes@lemmy.world Star Wars Memes@lemmy.world ADHDmemes@lemmy.world BecomeMe@sh.itjust.works RPGMemes @ttrpg.network NZ Politics@lemmy.nz memes@slrpnk.net Tech Support Memes@lemmy.ca Lefty Memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com Animemes@burggit.moe Relationship Memes@lemmyis.fun drugmemes@lemmy.world Animemes@ani.social Furry memes@yiffit.net politics@hexbear.net Political Humor@lemmy.ml
Ah I see. The current filter list only filters on post name or post body and not on the community name. I’ve just added last night (beta v138) a filter section for communities which I think is what you might be looking for.
Thanks! This sounds very promising! Thanks again for great app and your attention here!
