I know this is a broad question, and dont expect to be able to filter everything. Is there a way to filter out news on Lemmy so I can just scroll saving my mental health at times?
I think you can block the news communities.
I think you can also block keywords, or maybe this will be allowed only on Lemmy 1.0. I’m not sure right now.
I’ve just been blocking every newsbot and news community and politics community that I come across. It took a few weeks, but my feed is like 70 to 90 percent better than it used to be.
I honestly wish the Fediverse had categories for the types of magazines or posts that it has, and you could filter out an entire category. That would make me so happy.
Yes, you can block users, communities, or use the subscribed view and don’t subscribe to them.
