As the title says I want to block posts with specific words. I’m not an American and lately my whole feed is filled with trump/biden and I’m not slightly interested. Thanks in advance.

I don’t think there is a way to do so through the website front-end. If you use Android, the Sync for Lemmy app has a keyword filter though, it’s amazing to filter out the whole politics spam.

Sync allows you to filter posts by keyword in settings. Here is my block list: https://lemmy.ml/post/4194272

Here is a guide I once wrote on how to do that in the Eternity app for Lemmy on Android:

I feel ya. I personally only want English as I can’t understand other languages. Does Lemmy have that option and not an app/community by app/community way of doing it?

You can filter in Voyager the keywords you don’t want. In my eyes it’s better to block the users directly. There are some social warrior guys here posting their stuff more than once. They seem to be all over, but after all my blocking list is not more than 30 accounts. Not much. But the feed is clean.
