I’m starting to get tired of people talking about Reddit on Lemmy. I personally don’t care about Reddit anymore and am not interested in Reddit news.

I already blocked c/reddit that helped. Is there anything else I can do? Is there a way to hide posts that contain a keyword?

    Engage content that you enjoy and ride this out.

    Right now lemmy’s growth is driven by people pre-emptively leaving reddit even though their choses mobile apps still function. We’ll probably see another influx come July.

    But for now all we as a seed community can do is engage the other topics we enjoy and build communities that have substance.

    Eventually people will join to engage those topics instead of grip reddits demise.

      Very good response. To see less complaining about Reddit, make more posts about other things. Lemmy will be what we make it. I have spent two weeks posting into the void with the community I started and I’m finally starting to see engagement. These things take time.

        I think this is what a lot of people are missing here. Lot of people asking for specific content, but very few are willing to make it.

        Like I used to do some amateur in-depth looks at my college basketball team, but stopped due to just general life stuff and that is would get drowned out by memes about bar graphs. Now, though, there is an audience hungry for it, and it may be something I get back into a little bit.

      Doesn’t work for lots of useful applications of this feature. I want to avoid movie spoilers, so I had all the major marvel and star wars keywords, names, etc in a block list for my reddit client. I could browse all of reddit and (basically) never run into spoilers. There are also people who want to avoid stress triggers for them to just keep their mental sanity. Like blocking posts about Trump or Musk or Biden. It’s not a matter of waiting for some trending topic to boil over.
