I am still working through fediverse communities to curate my subscribed experience. As such, I still like to look at Local/All feeds to get ideas for additional subs. While doing that, there are many topics/communities that just aren’t relevant to me. I would like to be able to preemptively block them rather than have to manually click into their community to block them.
Does the fediverse support regex use to block? I can’t find it anywhere. For example, if I don’t want to see anything related to “Bork” I would like to be able to use that regex to block all the “Bork” related communities (Bork, ActualBork, BorkinSmork, SmolBork, BorkCirclejerk, etc. ). Is this possible?
Oh wow thanks, I’ve been thinking about that all day recently how I want to auto hide auto block things and couldn’t find how to.
I would also prefer regex tho but keyword is already a great improvement. I’ll definitely check this connect app you mentioned.

The connect app has a bunch of blocking options, including by keyword or entire instances. Not regex though.
