How do I mute/block annoying hashtags? I went into my settings menu and filtered out #AnnoyingPhrase should I not have used the #? Is there something else I should do? @fediverse

You can post on Lemmy using a Mastodon account? I tried it once but I can’t seem to post or comment because the community appeared as mere user profiles.
Yeah, you just toot at the community (with a little bit of special form)

@LGsMom @fediverse @VisualStuart Also eager to learn the answer to this question. #filter #AnnoyingPhrase
Annoying hashtags are legion. Since they’re supposed to entice, which #AnnoyingPhrase doesn’t do, it’s unlikely to have an effect if you filter it.
I use the whack-a-mole approach, and deal individually with each type of annoying hashtag as it shows up. Some generic types can wipe out whole swathes of posts you don’t want to see.
I’d suggest a few hashtags, but I don’t know what annoys you.
@riggbeck @fediverse I didn’t broadcast the specific hashtag. No need to rain on anyone’s parade just bc I’m not interested. Still, my efforts to clean up my timeline have been ineffective and now the #AnnoyingHashtag is REALLY annoying.
