With all the noise on lemmy, spam, and political content I have no interest in, the thought occurred to have blocklists similar to adblock lists. Has anyone looked into this before, is it already a thing? Any thoughts on that?

    Doable, but the problem lies in distributing the Github link to pull / check.

    If I hard code it, that wouldn’t work for a lot of people (different people block for different reasons, etc). If it’s a user option, you’d have to put the GitHub link in on every device (user settings are only saved locally).

    Best case would be an option to either upload a JSON file or enter a URL to pull a JSON file.
