Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had a way to filter out news on Lemmy so I can save my mental health and just look unimportant bs posts sometimes.

    Like someone else said: Block the news and politics communities if you like to browse /all. You can always unblock them later.

    It was with heavy heart but I also blocked silence7@slrpnk.net. Nothing against them, and they post nothing but quality material in what I fully believe to be good faith, but they’re just…too much. The only reason I had to block them individually is they post in more than just news/politics communities but never goes off-brand and only posts news/politics/“everything is a bummer” things. There’s probably a few other people like that, but shouldn’t be many.

    That should just leave you with the few oddball posts where it’s just the people that don’t follow the no news/politics rules.
