    Is it possible to block or filter out all communities with a specific term in their name?

    Like, I’ve got a friend who wants to block posts from any community with “meme” in their name.

    • Can he do that?

      I think the only way is to do a community all search for “meme,” open up the top 10 or 15, then block each one.

      I think if you link your Lemmy and Reddit accounts it filters out all memes automatically. Tell your friend to try that.

        I heard the Lemmy devs built in a backdoor that blocks all meme subs if you comment for “the narwal bacons at midnight” 10 times in a row in one of them.

      I just block them as they show up. It’s not the best way, but at least I know I get them all. What a shitshow these meme communities are.
