Additional thanks to Lemmy clients that allow keyword filters unlike the default Lemmy UI

Regarding the post title: Lemmy itself allows you to block communities, instances, and users. But it does not support filtering by keyword, e.g. filtering out any post with the word "platypus" in the title regardless of where it was posted or by whom. With help from the comments below, here are some third party Lemmy clients that have their own implementation of keyword filtering:

Boost
Connect
Eternity
Interstellar
Raccoon
Summit
Sync
Tesseract
Thunder
Voyager

Do NOT support keyword filtering:

Alexandrite
Jerboa
Lemmy UI
mlmym
Next
Photon
Quiblr

Definitely cool to be able to hide some topics
Piefed has that feature too
- Same with MBin, we have this feature too, I'm surprised Lemmy UI doesn't support it
  
  Happy cake day!

Many lemmy apps do though. I use the feature on voyager
- Summit even supports regex if you want to get fancy :D
- And will also let you block entire instances, like say hexbear.
  
  Instance blocking has been able on vanilla Lemmy for a while, no need for this at the client level
- Voyager number one yeeeee

Can you share a block list or good filter? I really couldn't give a rats ass about US politics. I'm using Sync 🤔
I just have Trump/Kamala/Biden/Republican/Democrat .. etc as individual filters
- Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Russia, Ukraine, Election, Terrorist, Vote (on my alt which is just to scroll and look at animal pics and memes)
  An honorable mention I’ve got on my blocklist is “shitlib” filters the hexbears and grads right out.

Wait there are places that exist outside of the US?

Voyager UI too

Yep is a killing feature from Voyger .

That should really be a server side feature instead of client side
- Piefed is leading the way
  
  Do you know if PieFed allows user-blocking of instances? Like allow someone to mention a community name such as firefox@lemmy.ml while blocking someone with a user account from lemmy.ml?

Ah man I love Voyager with keyword blocks

I'll never understand people who choose to live in ignorance
- I'll never understand people who think they can change someone else's mind on the internet while arguing about religion or politics
  
  You’ve convinced me: I’m converting to Islam and voting for Nader
- I think you might have to respect that an anonymous forum on the internet where people regularly bicker and insult each other (atleast on politics posts) may not be everyone’s favourite way to interact with politics and news.
- I’ll never understand people who think reading that 6,251st column about how Biden is really totally definitely looking into legalizing cannabis constitutes “knowledge”
