I constantly find myself blocking not accounts mostly because I don’t care about their content, plus certain communities I have no interest in like sports stuff could easily be blocked by using text strings with wildcards

Like *bot

Does anyone know of a way to do this? Preferably a Lemmy client that just does it without having to run a script? Because unless I run it daily new accounts are just going to pop up

    You can totally do it on Connect. I asked this same question on a different thread, and a user pointed this out to me. I have been using Connect since I started using Lemmy, but didn’t see this feature until they pointed it out to me.

    Here is the link to my parent comment. The explanation on how to use the feature is right below it. Hope this helps you. It is a suuuuper useful feature, and it accomplishes exactly what I needed/wanted. You can also one-click block users on Connect which isn’t exactly what you were looking for, but still makes it easy to avoid users.

    Connect really is the best app I have ever used on any platform. The dev seems to think of everything, and is super responsive to the community. Can’t say enough good things about it, seriously, check it out. Best of luck!

      I am currently using connect, and this is useful, but it doesn’t really have a wildcard feature for users, I see they have regex filtering for posts but that’s not quite what I’m looking for, thanks though
