can I block certain keywords from showing up on my posts on jerboa/lemmy account ?

I am tired of being blasted by political nonsense. I just want to look at memes and tech stuff while also not being scared of exploring new content.

That's what I want too and I'm afraid such a feature is not implemented yet. You can try to open an issue, find a different client or switch to Mastodon because I know some of its clients have the feature (though it works unreliably sometimes).

Try using eternity

Don't know about Jerboa, but Thunder does have keyword filtering.

That is my preferred client as well. This post has a list of clients that do/don't have the feature: https://feddit.uk/post/18770058

Yeah I've been using Thunder since Liftoff was abandoned. I haven't used the filters yet, but it's been a solid client.

I just downloaded it. Would that be in the filter tab in settings? Not sure if that's for blocking keywords or for finding posts with a keyword.

It seems like it will filter out (block) any post containing your keyword anywhere in the post title, body, or URL. Not sure about comments, but it's a solid start.

Using eternity. It has excellent filters

So what you're saying is that you want to block posts that contain the words "Biden", "Trump in their title? Or do you want to block posts that contain these words in their text body as well?

Mlem (iOS) has filtering.

We don't have this in jerboa, as I don't want to add "custom" features that are only available to jerboa, and not to every app. So this would need to be done in the back end first.

But also just block those communities, and if US spam is spilling over everywhere (like it does on reddit), then report those posts.
