Anyone has a list of US-specific or US-heavy/centric communities in Lemmy that I can just block? Or if you good mateys know of any tricks one could apply, cause every other post here is about the US and, as someome who’s never stepped foot on the damn country—and might never do so—, this is rather annoying. Yes, president bad. So and so bad. Whatever. I wish to see myself free of this madness, if anyone has any tips. Or maybe I should quit Lemmy, touch grass instead. Idk. Totally done that before, taking a Lemmy break. Maybe that’s the way. I might look into limiting US consumption everywhere else as well. US-free internet diet!

    lemmy.today##div.post-listing:has(span:has-text("/trump/i"))

    Add that to your adblock custom filters and create a new one for every keyword you want to block. If you start blocking entire communities that post about U.S. politics, you’re going to kill your feed completely - I’ve tried that already.

    Keep in mind that these filters apply even when the keyword is part of another word, so if you filter the term “ice,” it’ll also block titles that mention “police.” You can get around this by adding spaces on both sides of the word.

    Also, the instance in front of the filter needs to match the one you’re on, so in my case the filter is:
