Any way to hide posts by a certain user?

There are a couple of users posting stuff that I'd rather not see on social media, but instead of just blocking them, as I see value in their comments, I'd love to find a way to hide their posts.

As a workaround I've been blocking the communities they post to (since they offer me 0 value) instead, but they also seem to be adding more and more of very similar looking communities, so It's a cat and mouse game.

Yes, I browse "Everything", typically sorted by Active/Hot. I prefer this to subscriptions because it allows me to find new stuff daily.

This community isn't made for support, you may find better answers at !lemmy_support

Not natively, as it's an extremely niche concern. If you're on a normal browser, you can get uBlock origin and make a custom rule.

Make it easy for yourself and just block the user. Did the same thing and I'm totally fine.

I'm leaning towards that, but doesn't hurt to ask. I might suggest this as a feature to the Sync developer, I can already filter posts and comments by keywords and it helps a ton with certain type of content. Wouldn't be a stretch to get just a post title/community name filter.

If you're using Sync there's an option called "filter user".
Post dot menu / filter / user.

Does that in fact only affect posts, but not comments? Exactly what I needed!

That might affect both, not sure..
