    Sync and Boost both offer keyword filtering. That’s why I finally decided to use Sync, it was the first app to allow blocking entire instances and filter by keyword. Lemmy is a pretty great place, once you can filter out all the noise.

    I haven’t tried this myself but but you should be able to do it by creating custom rules on your adblocker

    Example:

    lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(Blockchain)

    lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(ChatGPT)

      Has-text is case sensitive. Adding / before the keyword and /i after will set it to case insensitive.

      Example:

      lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain/i)

      You can also use | to add multiple keywords to the filter.

      Example:

      lemmy.world##.d-sm-block.d-none > .row:has-text(/Blockchain|ChatGPT/i)

    I use Sync and if you had put Musk or Twitter in the headline, I’d never have seen this.

    What sucks is that I can’t block “x” because too many other headlines have X in the word and the filter strips leading and trailing spaces from the keyword.

    You can do it in a lot of apps/front ends

    Which app are you using?
