Piefed has one built-in, Voyager has it client side, there are probably other apps too, feel free to share your list in the comments

I wish we could do granular filters (apply to title, text body, per community etc). I’m using Tapestry for RSS/Mastodon/Bluesky lately and filtering system in that app pretty much revolutionised my news consumption. On top of the usual filters you mention it’s the little things like removing news pieces with „could” or „ceo says” in the title, every clickbait indicator I can come up with and so on. I might not want to mute Trump related news from Financial Times but I don’t really care what The Verge has to say on politics for example.
get Claude to code it up

Seems like a good reminder as this topic shows up regularly
I would like to have the ability to change words or phrases into other words, like "Trump" into "Dementia Don Diddler". It's like filtering, but more fun and amusing to me. Also, I realise I might be the only one that would like that functionality.

Its such a nice feature.

My own list on my main account is quite short
- trump, musk
- Nazi, nazis
I have another account where I don't have any filters that I open weekly to follow world news
I use blocklists a hell of a lot. This should be a mandatory feature for all social media. Reddit is unbearable without it. Also need to use it on Lemmy quite a bit. On reddit I was at almost 200 words in the filter. Lemmy is also building slowly.

I posted this about Lemmy a year ago. Please correct any of this that is now outdated:
Regarding the post title: Lemmy itself allows you to block communities, instances, and users. But it does not support filtering by keyword, e.g. filtering out any post with the word "platypus" in the title regardless of where it was posted or by whom. With help from the comments below, here are some third party Lemmy clients that have their own implementation of keyword filtering:
- Boost
- Connect
- Eternity
- Interstellar
- Raccoon
- Summit
- Sync
- Tesseract
- Thunder
- Voyager
Do NOT support keyword filtering:
- Alexandrite
- Jerboa
- Lemmy UI
- mlmym
- Next
- Photon
- Quiblr

I brought that up a couple months ago. There was a little discussion about potential issues, but I don't think there was any consensus to not do it

I don't use any filting at the moment but I'm going to use these. The sheer amount of uselessness in articles with those titles is immense.

Glad that I'm not the only one that wants that type of feature, but that thread makes some good counter points. I didn't think about the possible abuse cases.

Share your keywords? I'm considering doing this, Lemmy's 'Active' feed is nearly as bad as doomscrolling Twitter was

No matter how thorough you are with your filters the comments are still cancer.

Eternity app can filter comments, too!

Yeah I could have been clearer.
I have a few accounts, one of them is filtered AF for when I dont want any more doom for today. No matter how unrelated to end stage capitalism or American politics or Gaza a post is someone in the comments finds a way to bring it up.
