Lemmy is growing daily, which is awesome! But it would be nice to be able to see new content coming in, but filter certain communities and users at the same time.

I see comments where people say “just use subscribed”, and that’s fine, but I’d like to see what’s new, filtering things I know I don’t want to see.

For example, I see city communities becoming very active, good for them! I know I will never be interested in let’s say a particular city’s community. I’d like to block it and continue seeing the rest of all the new stuff.

Similarly, the same is true for some users. It would also be nice if the keyword and instance filters would be hidden.

Thus I propose a new feed view “All (filtered)”.

Thanks for all the great work on the app!

I was really distraught over the whole Reddit Spez-gate meltdown, and Memmy has been like a breath of fresh air.

    You can block the communities that you don’t want to see. Just go to all, click on the community you aren’t interested in then click on the three dots at the top right and select Block Community.

    Pretty soon your ‘All’ feed will be filtered the way you want. I’ve blocked a bunch of communities where I don’t speak the language, and a bunch I’m not interested in. I still see lots of new things but it’s a more filtered version.

      I do that, but the communities still seem to show up. Do I have to completely close Memmy for the filtering to take effect?

        For me, I just need to refresh the feed. Blocked instances are at the account level, so it should work across access methods, including different apps

          This is correct, you’ll need to refresh the feed to make the block take affect.

          I use both Memmy and Voyager/Wefwef and I only have to block once, it works on both apps. Voyager has an advantage here because I can view/edit the list of blocked communities if needed. Memmy doesn’t seem to allow that yet.
