Comment on What is the best way to support Lemmy specifically and the Fediverse in general financially?
iatenine@piefed.social 4 days agoSounds good
The big things I’d want is a longer list of Piefed instances to add and the ability to add keyword and community filters from the app without full on blocking
The double lines on “Enter” in the comment editor so they actually appear is fantastic!

Is there a specific instance that’s missing that you want to use? You can input a custom instance durning login in the search input.
I’m not sure I understand the keyword filters without fully blocking part.

Sorry, didn’t realize the search box allowed custom domains like that. That’s perfect!
The keyword thing I mean is similar to the “mute words/post/user” feature Bluesky has but using Piefed’s keyword filter (Settings > Filters > Keyword Filters when using the web version)
In my “perfect world” these filters are predefined and put rage bait posts in the same cultural zeitgeist as NSFW ones

I’ve been kicking around this idea for awhile where Blorp has a filter engine. You can define and combine a bunch of rules like post body contains text and community name does not contain. The rules are bundled into a “file” and given a name. E.g. no US politics is a file you can subscribe to. The file can be auto updated if you choose to subscribe to updates. Blorp would come with a bunch of predefined filter files, but you can create and share your own.
I really think this would be a killer feature, but there is a little complexity in implementing it. I also want to collaborate with Interstellar devs so you can use the same filter files in either app. Anyway, I’ve been procrastinating building this about will take me a couple months.
But what do you think?

I think direct Piefed/Lemmy/Mbin integration would be best but if they haven’t created a standard format yet no reason a couple apps can’t establish one to be adopted
You can find me on Github with this same handle if you need somebody to help. Normally don’t have time to be active on my personal account there anymore but for this, I’ll find some
