Is there a way to block content other than community and user yet? I'm getting really sick of hearing about Elon.

The best bet would be to make a feature request for a mobile client to add word/phrase filtering.

I’d just like to be able to block bot posts

You can disable seeing bots on Lemmy, in your settings. Not sure if this carries over to apps though.

I’ve heard this, I should log into the website and look. I use an app though

I mean, I’m not a bot, tho. 🤨

Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that you were

You can in your settings.

Is stopthatgirl7 a bot?

I am most decidedly not. Just terminally online while I’m on a long vacation.

This girl has to be stopped!

Thank you. I was hoping you’re real - I enjoy all your posts!

Aww, thank you! I try to post things I think are interesting and other people will like.

Sync for Lemmy has keyword filtering:

For other sync users, you can change those settings here

That's so cool.
