Lemmy post blocking (by key word) extension for Firefox (self.programming)

I'm wondering how hard it would be to write a firefox extension that blocked individual Lemmy posts based on the presence of words in a block list.

I'm pretty famiiar with Python, but have only done a little bit of hacking of JS, so was hoping the brains trust could provide some insight.

Should be pretty doable, even if you don't have much JS knowledge yet. You might want to look into TamperMonkey for this, it's a sort of framework for making custom browser plugins!

I second tampermonkey. I believe the lemmytools user script available in greasyfork does this already though.

Lemmytools is what I was hoping to find. Thank you! Installed and working great. I'll never have to see another Trump post again.
