Is it possible to remain subscribed to Technology but not get posts about this person?
Remember when the reddit technology sub banned articles about tesla? Good times.
Depending on your client you can likely filter or block specific users and phrases.
Does Lemmy have post tags or flair or whatever it's called?
It is under development
With Boost for Lemmy you can block specific words, really good app btw, they have their own Lemmy community. https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy
Thanks, sounds useful here.
Sadly I am fussy when it comes to apps and Boost appears to be proprietary.
Too bad, it makes Lemmy quite pleasant to use. I've been using Boost for years (when it was a Reddit app), and imo he makes the best apps for these kinds of sites.
On Android you can filter posts with the Eternity app.

If you're on mobile, connect has a post filtering by keyword feature
i mostly browse via old.lemmy.world and i am badly missing RES and its filters.
Dunno how to ping the mods, but maybe they should add that rule. It's pretty annoying to get spammed about Muskrat and XXX.
I would love that. Closest you can get is blocking the top Musk posters, my feed significantly improved since then (not perfect solution of course, as you might lose other content, and sometimes you’ll see Musk posts like these from an OP who is not always spamming them)
Who are these top musk posters so I can block them too? So tired of hearing an asshat continue to be an asshat. Every. Single. Day.
Sync can filter by keywords.
Boost and Sync have hide support.
