How to improve your Lemmy experience - Lemmy

Pure bliss

how do i do this?
On Voyager there’s a filters and blocks page where you can add whatever filters you want.
sync app for lemmy has all sorts of filters in the settings
I’d add ben_dover just to make it perfect.
When you accidentally add PugJesus to that list and Lemmy becomes a void xD
At least you get rid of the spam from a clear karma farmer!
There’s no record of farmed karma, though? They’ve talked about it before, they just happen to have a lot of time on their hands at the moment and can’t do much else.
You can’t even see karma. What are you talking about?
So you made an account *check note* about one year ago and your total contribution to the fediverse is *check note again* one post. But yes let’s get rid of the frequent poster so this place will get better by having no content. 👍
I still have “Hunter Biden” and “Vision Pro” on my list
You must get nothing but memes, Linux, and porn.

Eh, not so much porn. There’s barely any uploads. Which in turn is why lemmy is so dead.

LADIES!!! GROW LEMMY!!! SHOW YOUR TITTIES FOR THE GOOD OF THE FEDIVERSE!!!

God you people are disgusting. If there was one woman here she would’ve left after seeing your comment.
Can we see your tits instead then?
What the fuck. I know this is a shitpost community but don’t say that kind of shit.
This guys over 'ere tit shaming!
You make the world bo-o-o-o-oring, not better
Don’t talk for us. We can talk for ourselves.
Why don’t you do some work? Go and upload the porn you have seen today, maybe we’ll have a new post record.
Is there a big market for overweight teenage boy tiddies?

Almost certainly.

There’s a market for everything.

Damn where do I go to find these people irl
You can’t just upload videos to lemmy though?
eww
Everyone wants to sacrifice for praxis until it’s time to sacrifice for praxis 😞

1st that’s kinda weird

But also there actually is quite a bit of it already. Go to your user settings and make sure you have “Show explicit content (NSFW)” enabled.

There’s whole instances for this stuff like lemmynsfw.com. I see it in my feed (blurred, so I can use Lemmy at work lol) a lot especially if you scroll for a bit.

Spoken like someone who’s not actually used it.

Go look how often these instances upload. In most cases it’s like once a week. One picture a week. I’m supposed to bust my nut from one picture??? Per WEEK???

And some niche communities are more like “last upload 8 months ago”.

Meanwhile on reddit, you refresh the page, and theres several new posts in the 3 minutes you’ve been there.

So yes. I’m fully aware of the porn situation here…

what’s wrong with linux, memes and porn? 😂
I have no issues with any of them. I don’t think I’d be a frequent Lemmy user if that’s all there was though.

I just want a block community button on the main page so I don’t have to open the “HUGEGAPINGASSHOLES” community up to block it (none of the images in the headliner are censored despite blurring being on).

No offense to people who are into that I just don’t want it on my front page

I agree, I’d like to be able to block a community from the main page as well. I have no issues with things like gay porn, but it would be nice to be able to block it from my feed without having to open the community.
You say that like it’s a bad thing.

I’m getting memes and Linux, don’t want porn in this feed so disabled it.

And I’m not going to enable politics… :)

I just set subscribed to my default and prune my subscriptions. I like some politics, but I get enough from what seeps through in News, so I un-subbed from politics. I will seek out meme communities that are my speed and leave the rest to their own devices. I just take a peek at “all” every once in a while, and I tend to check out links people post in comments that interest me, but for the most part I have my corner of Lemmy more or less how I want it.
How to do this on defualt Lemmy on desktop?

Extentions.

In uBock Origin on the dashboard I added:

lemmy.world##article:has-text(/elon/i)

And that blocks any federated posts and comments with that text in the body while browsing lemmy.world. It blocks comments. It does not block poats with elon in the title but no body text, so there is probably a title-has-text but I havn’t messed aroumd with that.

Add a new row per term you want filtered.

I then turn uBlock on and off for lemmy.world depending on whether I want it to be filtered or not, since it doesn’t normally block anything on lemmy.world.

I’m sure there is an easier extension to use, just showing one way on desktop.

There. Now I hid your own post from you.

i think Sync’s filters only work on post titles - but thanks i guess?
Was there anything left???🤣
not much tbh, but it’s better for my blood pressure anyway 😅
First world problem: I don't want to hear about paying for genocide
if you’re already doing everything you can then there’s no point in bombarding your mind with horeible things every day.
Big “if” there
true. but as a European that’s just trying to survive right now I won’t be of any use to these issues no matter how many posts I see.
Very well, but we expect to see you volunteer in the Second American Civil War
Don’t want to hear about it from a social media platform. Lots of people don’t want to consume their news on an anonymous online platform.
I’ve done it before, but still get memes and stuff of terms listed on there. It’s annoying.
Secret lifehack I found just the other day, block the lemmit bot that reposts stuff from Reddit.
Or don’t show bot accounts at all
Bliss for mental health indeed,
been doing this for a while now,
zero regrets.
Too bad it doesn’t work for filtering text in images, because here you are.
That’s true,
but hey, filtering and blocking out 90% of the unwanted/negative content is already way better then getting blasted by the full 100%! :D
Is there anything left?
Linux
I think I should filter that out as well
