I’m now at the point where my blocklist of communities is a multiple of the number of my subscriptions. A lot of my blocked communities have similar or even the same titles across different Lemmy instances, e.g., ‘politics’, ‘news’, ‘memes’. New ones pop up every time I visit ‘all’ and it would be so nice if I didn’t have to go through blocking each individual one each time. I understand that nobody has a working regex block at the moment but I’ve seen mentioned in several places that LemmyConnect has a keyword filter. Please can someone show me where it is?

Thanks

    Hi, there is a ‘Filters’ setting on the main Settings page (just below Show NSFW and above Text Size options), it accepts both text and regex (in /this/ format) and will block any post which has a title or body that contains one of the filtered words.

      Really sorry. I currently have this set for followers but it doesn’t seem to be working for me:

      politics, news, memes, /politics/, /news/, /memes/

        Hi, no worries! Just to confirm with those 6 filters active you are still seeing posts with for example ‘news’ in the post title or description?

          As per original post I am trying to block/filter communities, e.g. I am able to extract the following list of communities from my current manual blocklist with this regex:

          ^(?!.*Meme|.*meme|.*News|.*news|.*politic|.*Politic).*$

            Ah I see. The current filter list only filters on post name or post body and not on the community name. I’ve just added last night (beta v138) a filter section for communities which I think is what you might be looking for.
