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.

    Thank you! I feel like I’ve been playing non-stop whack-a-mole trying to block all the news communities from my feeds!

      Welcome. Lemmy became almost unbearable to browse recently and especially these two days. Glad i could find a solution. Again, thanks to the user i mentioned above for the tip and the blocklist. He’s the true hero.

      Connect for lemmy instance block has been helpful. Helps clean up communities in one go if you find you don’t like a majority of the communities from an instance and they seem too active populating /c/all and hurting discovery of communities you might be interested in from during a quick browse.
