This, and the ability to use flairs would be really useful here on Lemmy. Flairing posts was such an essential way to organise posts on a lot of specific subreddits.
That kind of feature is so needed

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Flairs would be good to have, I agree. But aren’t flairs just a special case of hashtags? Could we implement it on top of the hashtag model?
I can't help but wonder if this would be better served at the client level. Either way I miss this feature.
You are right. I moved it to the ui.
The Connect app on Android already has a lot of great filtering options. You can filter posts that contain certain words, and I believe it just added the ability to hide entire instances.
Yup, you can block instances, communities, and by keyword like you mentioned.
Yes please. My blocklist on R....t had so many random words I just prefer to avoid for whatever reason. I worry for my state of mind as Lemmy grows and they start appearing.
I think on R it was part of the API, but I'm not sure.
Btw why post this in shower thoughts and not somewhere Lemmy related? Tbh it's also a tad annoying seeing meta Lemmy posts everywhere. Nostupidquestions is nothing but Lemmy already
I just want to filter by language first. I can only read English. So i dont want to see all the german (or others) communities that keep popping up.
I always see german posts in english because of the the web translation extension. The only reason I know it's german is because of the language tag.
Is the extension in your app or did you add it on?
A browser extension.
Looking at you Linux
