You may want to cross-post this to !lemmy@lemmy.ml instead, as that's where Lemmy-as-software discussions/requests are more appropriate. It'd be a nice feature for sure though, and the current "Hide read posts" option is just a bit too overkill to suggest as a workaround for you for now, I think.

and the current “Hide read posts” option is just a bit too overkill
Exactly! I don't want to read everything I hide and I don't want to hide everything I read.
Seconded, would be nice to also have "hide all posts with this url" to cover posts to other communities/servers, but that's less critical.
also useful to hide post that contain a string in the title.
This feature is available in some clients
It's title and body better for you than title + body? I added it to my app after multiple people asked for it, but I don't understand the appeal
You should give Voyager a try https://vger.app
You can slide posts to hide them, that's how my feed stays fresh.
Not quite the same thing but just today I've come across this userscript: lemmy-keyword-filter
It's a very simple keyword filter. I am using it to get rid of some noise from a community that I am otherwise interested in.
I use Violentmonkey to run it but any userscript engine should do as long as it supports GM_getValue
, GM_setValue
and GM_registerMenuCommand
which are used to provide a minimal UI to edit the keyword list. You might want to edit the @match
rule to restrict it to the Lemmy instances you use.
My favorite part about boost was the ability to blacklist key words and hide posts. Blacklisting the word anime and hiding every bait and switch meme was great
Summit for Lemmy supports this now :D
Love to see it
