I did this on Firefox, but I suspect it may work in other browers too.
- Install the Violentmonkey extension. Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey will also do.
- Install the Lemmy tools script.
- Browse to Lemmy
- Click on the screw driver icon on the LemmyTools bar that is now visible on the Lemmy page.
- Scroll down and check the box next to “Content Blocking”
- Add your block words in the “Add filters seperated by commas.” box. I typed “Trump, Vance” Voila!
This kind of filrter would be very helful if it was built into the site. Being able to block words/subjects.
Petition to add this as an actual feature that could block posts, communities, comments amd users /srs
Open a issue on lemmy’s GitHub: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
Or…
lemm.ee##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/Trump/i"))Put that into your adblocker custom filters. Just change the lemm.ee to lemmy.world (or what ever instance you’re on)
How would you add more terms?
“/Trump/Musk/i” or “/Trump, Musk/i”You need to duplicate the whole thing and just replace the filter word with some other
While we’re at it, any recommendations for a Lemmy Android client that can do the same?
Jerboa doesn’t appear to have anything other than blocking by: site, community or user.

How can I do that? I couldn’t find it on the settings.
That feature is not on the iOS version sadly.
It’s in mine. App version 2.18.5.
Ah, solved it. Need to be logged in before it appears.
I know you may be exhausted hearing their names and reading the news about them. But ignoring them won’t make the problem go away or the situation any better. Don’t look away. Get angry, then find a way to get even.
you know what it will help with? my exhaustion. you cannot get ‘angry’ if you are completely fucking drained of energy. these people just want a break.
That’s what they want though. They want us to be miserable and exhausted. This is our time to stand guard over Democracy so we can safely pass the baton to the next generation. Are you going to give them what they want?
I dont have anything left to give. youre not getting more blood from this stone regardless of how much you guilt trip me
Not trying to guilt trip you Mr Lucifer. Take all the time you need. Just know that some of us still have a lot of fight left in them. Feel free to jump in if/when you have the strength to show these Nazi scum what’s wrong and what’s right
yes, im not saying ‘no’ forever. but i know me and my friends who ran phone banks and did all the things need a break after the last cycle. i know we cant wait 4 years to act… or even 2… but were all very tired.
Being constantly angry and circlejerking about it with other angry people won’t make the problem go away either.
True, but as a non US person I don’t give a shit about US politics or personalities.
We live in a global society, my friend.
Unfortunately they affect us all.
Like it or not, the US has tremendous influence around the world. The rise in populism may not appeal to you, but that doesn’t mean that it may not be coming for you.
Again, true. But still don’t give a shit about US politics and personalities.
I don’t blame you in the slightest. I’m American and I’m sick to death of the clown show.
That’s your choice. Godspeed
Don’t forget, the US has nukes. We’re everybody’s problem.
We just assume you’re dumb enough to nuke yourself.
