I’m starting to get tired of people talking about Reddit on Lemmy. I personally don’t care about Reddit anymore and am not interested in Reddit news.
I already blocked c/reddit that helped. Is there anything else I can do? Is there a way to hide posts that contain a keyword?
You must log in or register to comment.
Ironically, people who have managed to do this would not see your question
If you’re using Lemmy in a browser, you can block posts that contain certain keywords using uBlock Origin. I made a YSK post about it: https://lemmy.world/post/435133
No such feature exists yet on the desktop version, but I am sure it’s on the wishlist already. Apps might be able to implement this themselves, but I can’t say whether any have yet.
Edit: clarified
Mlem on iOS seems to have that feature under Settings > Filters at least!
The only people I see talking about reddit are people like you complaining about unseen people complaining about reddit.
If you stop, it will stop.
Just chill for a bit.
Sure but then you’ll block your own post…
How do you feel about Digg?
The same way I feel about MySpace
You wish you’d never have switched from Friendster?
It was the same for me on Mastodon, I started regularly using it just as it all kicked off re Twitter. I got really tired of the term ‘bird site’.
After a couple of weeks that all died down. As others have said, ride it out, it won’t take long for people to stop posting about Reddit.
no, but filtering per keyword would be a nice feature
I’d really love to filter “the” - just for fun
One of the first things I noticed about the app Connect for Lemmy is that it has a word blacklist. I haven’t tried it, but I see it there is settings
Hopefully RES type option comes out for lemmy and kbin.
I mean you could just block the two Reddit or three communities …
The problem is when 50+ communities all start talking about something pointless Trump or Elon said. I want to be able to hide/block posts by keyword, not community.
I’m not sure that you really need to. It’s the hot topic of the moment for obvious reasons, but it’ll die down soon enough. Just needs a little time.
The Connect for Lemmy app on Android has a filter-out posts by keyword feature
Engage content that you enjoy and ride this out.
Right now lemmy’s growth is driven by people pre-emptively leaving reddit even though their choses mobile apps still function. We’ll probably see another influx come July.
But for now all we as a seed community can do is engage the other topics we enjoy and build communities that have substance.
Eventually people will join to engage those topics instead of grip reddits demise.
Very good response. To see less complaining about Reddit, make more posts about other things. Lemmy will be what we make it. I have spent two weeks posting into the void with the community I started and I’m finally starting to see engagement. These things take time.
I feel you, ever since i came to lemmy its been non stop reddit shit talking.
These are the reddit subs i found if you wanna block them !snoocalypse@lemmy.ml !reddit@lemmy.ml !reddit@lemmy.world !RedditMigration@kbin.social
Go back to Reddit if you don’t like posts about Reddit. I hear Reddit has a lot posts about Lemmy.
