What I did on reddit was to filter specific political words using RIF. If the app you're using supports word filters I would do that

Thunder doesn't support it yet, but it has extremely active development and a great community. Maybe check it out, start an issue on GitHub.

This is off topic, but in Voyager can you change the sort of your home page? I can't figure it out.

Edit: nevermind, I'm dumb. I found it.

This is more of a support question, please see the sidebar for suggestions on communities where you could better ask this question. Removing under rule #3.

I'd like the same thing. Plus I see a lot of posts asking for it too.

Hopefully the devs can add an "I'd like to see less/more of this" button. The next question is, how does the algorithm decide which posts to allow, is it by most upvotes, most recent, most comments, most controversial (lots of upvotes and downvotes), etc. Just brainstorming.

Fair enough. But if you don't click the buttons, nothing happens. Or maybe there could be a "Don't filter anything" setting in your profile so you don't get the buttons at all.

Plug your ears with your fingers and sing; news will infiltrate literally every aspect of your life in some form or another because it is the nature of reality: shit happens everywhere and someone is there to tell people about it.

You can't live in your safe little bubble sustainably. However, to answer your question, kbin allows you to filter keywords and domains that have news, not sure about lemmy.

Edit: seems like I'm dumb.

Uline makes some great disposable foam earplugs that I've used when shooting my guns and won't hurt your ears with prolonged use.

Read a sidebar before posting in a community please. This is not for your support questions.

Subscribe to smaller political communities. Don't use the main lemmy.world one if you don't want to see a ton of posts. There will be less-active communities on smaller instances.
