I feel like /c/memes has taught us a valuable lesson today: Would it make sense to develop a feature to block a comm from our feed for a selectable unit of time (1 hour, 1 day, etc.)? (lemmy.ml)

Even if we're subscribed to them? Could a temp block exist in conjunction with a subscription? I love c/memes but holy shit no matter which sort I select by they've managed to overwhelm my feed.

it isn't just /c/memes looking at the global feed I felt like I was blocking meme related communities for a while yesterday.

I think the core app needs some simple text filters for communities and posts or hopefully some of the client apps will implement that a number of the meme subs at least have the word meme in their name.

Same could be said for NSFW subs, but we at least have a global toggle for those at if they have been correctly tagged.
