I need to figure out why those !.. links don’t work for me. I have to copy/paste them in search, and then I can get there from the search results. Just ridiculous.
If you’re the first to subscribe to it on your instance then it hasn’t begun federation until you (or another user) search the link for the first time.
I would love for this to be a feature, I want to filter out any posts that could be a trigger like sexual assault. I could do it in the reddit third party apps.
You can block communities and magazines that focus on it, which should get rid of the lion's share of Reddit-related content. It's been a bit disappointing to see so much low-effort, choir-preaching memes and content flood in. Hopefully the Fediverse can progress to a place where the primary activities extend beyond discussing the Fediverse & Reddit.
It will be so important once US election cycle comes around. It became a game of wack a mole individually blocking subreddits versus just setting relevant keywords to make the reddit viewing experience wonderful as opposed to a rage inducing. We need a Fediverse Enhancement Suite.
You can block the whole Fediverse community. I did. Like, it's helpful. I also blocked asklemmy. Also helpful. I haven't blocked it on kbin, though. It doesn't matter, I see shit I'm not subscribed to when I filter by "subscribed" still. I think filtering by keyword is going to be a long time away. You can be obnoxious as a commenter, though. When you see the keyword, say something contrary in a comment. That could be fun.
For a few years I’ve made it a personal point not to read any political coverage with overblown action verbs in the title like “X slams Y over spending bill” or “Y attacks Z”. It’s subjective but I swear it has genuinely helped my mental health. A filter that does this would definitely be nice now that you mention it!
I’m not a Connect dev and the app is not open source yet, so I can’t quantitatively give you an answer. As a user, it’s been working fine for me on all feeds.
I recommend posting something in the Connect for Lemmy community. If a feature is broken, the dev probably wants to hear about it.
