On social platforms in general you can run among some offensive content. How can Lemmy users avoid rule breakers on Lemmy and viewing certain content. Preferably without running into the rule offending comment and then having to block a user.

Is it better for users to view posts at latter dates, or the day the post is out the comments start coming? What can the user do to avoid such content. Are their steps the user can take before a moderator reviews a post such as word filters?

    Lemmy does not support blocking posts, users, instances, communities or comments via keywords natively. That is a client sided feature of Voyager.

      Huh I see, but I wonder it appears to sync with the website? Is this coordinated outside the lemmy server? I did just learn the keyword filtering is unique to the apps.

        I don’t know. But Lemmy does not block based on keyword natively. You can just add them manually, but no automatic blocking is possible yet.
