Tired of constantly seeing USA politics and trump face on your feed ? Here's a keyword based blocklist to get rid of them (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I got tired of seeing trump face everywhere and a kind user by the name of SubArcticTundra shared his keyword based block list as images. I wrote them down and am sharing them with anyone else that is tired of constantly seeing USA politics on his feed.

it should work on sync, Connect and eternity since they have keyword based filtering . Voyager , liftoff and jerboa don't have this feature (yet).

here's the list in text format for direct use on connect (i didn't use some of the keywords he shared to minimize collateral damage on actual world news posts that may be interesting ) :

gop, jan, maga, representatives, congress, biden, trump, desantis, far right, alt-right, democrat, democrats, republican, republicans

It may not work 100% of the time but it should drastically decrease the constant spam of political news / trump pictures.

I have never understood why people would like Lemmy and then look at any feed other than subscribed. You might as well use mastodon if just a free flow of posts is your thing. I do like the list of keywords though for those rare occasions I look at the universal feed.

Mastodon is an entirely different format

Few of the communities that I care about have made it to Lemmy and those who have are pretty barren. The All feed is the only way for me to actually use Lemmy

Discovering new communities ?

I only look at subscribed in Lemmy and followed in Masto. I never liked "All" or "Trending" type stuff anywhere.
