Too much US politic posts and Communities in the last weeks? (lemmy.ca)

I have been more than 2 years on Lemmy and I have had an amazing experience with everything, but lately I see more and more US politics on all! I also see new communities regarding US politics + newspapers about the US, cross-posting same article in multiple communities and so on.

It's only me who thinks this is too much? Anyone else that have noticed it?

After a quick search, Lemmy does appear to have similar content filters available, but I don't know exactly where to find them.

Lemmy does not have built-in keywords filters. Another area where Piefed is better.

You're right, I stand corrected. I was looking at a post on Lemmy.World that was a changelog that mentioned adding keyword content filters.

Turns out that it was a changelog for a particular mobile Lemmy client (Summit).

My quick glance wasn't quite deep enough, it seems.

No worries!
