    On some Mastodon clients you can block hashtags, and on Lemmy you can block communities, so we’re already pretty close. To do more would require a lot of self-tagging of posts and not everyone will do that. Or it would require analytics and automatic tagging that may not be accurate and would theoretically be a privacy nightmare.

      I can never rely on people to self-tag posts. But tagging communities would be much more manageable and helpful.

      Maybe communities should come with default tags. That would make it a lot easier.

      Do it like AO3 and enforce only about a dozen mandatory tags, and allow ‘choose not to tag’ tag if you don’t want to tag, and you can choose to filter out the choose not to tag content…
