Is there a way to hide posts? I have slight arachnophobia and want to be able to hide posts when they contain spiders without having to block a community or a user.

    Don’t know about Jerboa, but Connect for Lemmy has a feature that you can type in keywords you want to use as filters, and posts with those words in the title are automatically hidden.

    I use it to filter out political posts, and after using it in this way my Lemmy experience has drastically improved. You may be able to use it in a similar way for spider related stuff, maybe Jerboa can add a similar feature.

    As far as images without anything to note its a spider in the title, you’d need to add image recognition, which is something more likely to be added to Lemmys backend than as a clientside thing.

      I wouldn’t mind seeing spider related text posts, and would worry that filtering out the word spider would mean I don’t see spider-man related things, which is quite different. I’m wanting a way to hide a post once I’ve already seen it so that I don’t have to see it again.
