I typically browse /all with a lot of subs blocked (typically NSFW ones that just have NSFW content that I’m not into) but I’d like to block all of the Trump and Elon posts without having to sacrifice my visibility with all of the news subs.
To add to this, I’m on mobile via Voyager
Anyone able to do this or lend some insight?
Thanks in advance.

I just blocked the US news ones and kept the World news ones. You still get a fair amount of Trumpy crap, but I’m fine with that. I don’t want to pay attention to the stuff Americans do to themselves, but I arguably would still like to know when they invade Sweden or whatever they end up doing.
In settings on Voyager you have a blocks and filters section. In there you have filter keywords. You can try filtering different keywords to try and trim the idiocy from /all. It is fucking tiring.
I feel like being ignorant of the issues is what mostly brought the American public to vote for him/allow this to happen. Wouldn’t this put you onto a similar path or at least become complicit towards what’s going on?
Or are you in the belief that someone else will just do something for you?
Neither.
I come to lemmy as a means of entertainment, blocking people from posting Trump/musk articles from shitty sources like Newsweek isn’t going to change how informed I am, it’s just going to continue being entertainment.
The most important thing any of us could have done was vote. I did do that.
There a lot of other ways that could explain why that’s not gonna happen at least in my case, but I’m not gonna go into them.
You can understand the issues without having them shoved in your face. Id argue a lot of people would understand them a lot better if they blocked them, and went out and intentionally sought the information rather than someone curating the most ragebait ridden shit the could find times 1000 every day and serving them to you.
And lastly and most importantly, being informed means nothing if we’re not willing to take to the streets and solve this problem with violence. We’re past information, reason, requests, and protests.
Simplest: Setup a filter in your app of choice.
Harder (and morally questionable?) solution: Delete Trump and Musk from real life.
Please don’t fedpost, recommending someone do an adventurism is how you and the site owner get visits from the feds.
Additionally, adventurism doesn’t have that great of a track record for destroying systems; one of the splits between the Bolsheviks and the SRs and other factions was their analysis of the effects of the previous half century of random assassinations of government officials, including the Tsar. Assassinations create a power vacuum, but it’s not productive if the bourgeoisie are positioned to fill that power vacuum.
I only browse Subscribed. And since I’m not subscribed to any political/hateful shit I seldom see anything… not enough to bother me, even less so that I know I won’t click it. Not that I’m not interested into politics. I’m very much, but I also don’t call that constant drama/shitposting ‘politics’ and I certainly do not wish to waste my time reading that.
It’s merely a choice: what do you value most? not missing the rare ‘quality post’ in those shit content communities, or your own sanity? My choice is clear.
This is what i did. I used to depend on my feed to get major news but decided to do that elsewhere. Now my feed is just stuff that entertains.
Same. I constantly see these posts complaining about their feed and am just wondering why don’t you guys use /subscribed instead of /all.
Checkout https://lemmyverse.net/communities or something and tailor your feed. Don’t browse /all the entire week.
This is the way. Subscribe to the stuff you care about, and ignore the rest. Browsing “all” from time to time should be enough as long as you sort by top of the week or something like that.
This way, you’re in charge. You get to control how much you get exposed to potentially harmful stuff.
This is not the way, the point of browsing all is so you won’t miss new subs.
A better way is to use !communitypromo@lemmy.ca or !newcommunities@lemmy.world if you don’t want to browse /all.
Community promo has new posts for “old” communities that you might have missed every once in a while too.
Grilled. You were faster than I ;)
If you use voyager app you can filter by keywords !voyagerapp@lemmy.world
If you use a Programming.dev account, all political posts are filtered from “all” unless they’re from a community you subscribed to. I suggest you give moving instance a try.
Since you’re on lemmy.world, the move would be good for decentralization too.
I’ve gotten hate just from being on .world, can you elaborate on the decentralization bit? Do you mean just kind of spreading people out instead of being on one of the larger instances in this case?
Yeah, spreading people out is great. I have no particular hate for lemmy.world, but it is way too big compared to the other instances, which can be troublesome if it keeps expanding and in the future a company buys the instance and suddenly controls the majority of Lemmy.
For sure, I’ll definitely consider it.
Also, I didn’t mean to imply that you were hating on it, others have usually just called me a Russian bot or something similar. It was just the first instance I found that didn’t have odd requirements during the Reddit purge.
Ignoring them is easy, but there are prerequisites. To remain unaffected, you and everyone you know and love will need to NOT be:
- Black
- Caribbean
- African
- Latino
- Native American
- South Asian
- East Asian
- Filipino
- Ukrainian
- European
- Jewish
- Arabic
- Muslim
- transgender
- gay
- nonbinary
- someone with a uterus
- queer
- in the military
- poor
- middle-class
- empathetic
- employed by the federal government
- employed by a corporation
- holding investments
- holding a bank account
- dependent on buying or selling products or services
- looking to live in an apartment or house
- hungry
- breathing clean air
- drinking clean water
- wanting to fly in US airspace
- sick
- injured
- susceptible to pathogens
- concerned with financial corruption
- a voter
- etc.*
*Note that list is not comprehensive, up to and including whoever Trump and Musk decide to disenfranchise tomorrow, in order to distract everyone from whoever they disenfranchised yesterday.
hahahaha, good luck, let us know if you figure it out. also let us know if you’re able to actual block other users from interacting with your content.
So far, the filter words “Trump, musk, Elon, Tesla, Teslas, maga” have done wonders. I can still see news, even political news, but instead of 9 out of 10 of the visible posts being about those two fuckoffs, it’s around 1 in 50, maybe 100, which will still keep me informed enough.
As for the blocking mechanisms, I really don’t have anything on that, I haven’t ran into that issue, but I’ve successfully avoided other users by blocking them. It may warrant another post to find out more if it means enough to you.
Locking for rule 5.

I’m asking lemmy how to avoid a specific topic, likely for the very reason this sub has it as a rule. How dense.
Rules are rules. Sorry.

Why do you think he’s American to begin with?
I think you’ve misunderstood the assignment.
