@Noam writes Perhaps you can use the content filter to filter out hashtags (they will be colapsed afaik). Go to Settings > Addons > Content filter (NSFW and more) and add the terms.
It says there Use /expression/ to provide regular expressions, #tag to specfically match hashtags (case-insensitive), or regular words (case-sensitive) - so I guess it should do the trick (I haven't tested against hashtags myself so far).
@petrescatraian oops, didn't notice that, but from your reply it looks like the process of filtering must be an ActivityPub feature, I think I've seen it on all Fedi apps so far...
@Kudra :maybe_verified: I guess it's up to any platform to implement it the way it wants :D Here it's through a plugin that instance admins must install (not sure if it can also be done differently, this is how I do myself). The result is that the entire post is collapsed just like it would be when it has a CW:
@Kudra :maybe_verified: @Noam writes Friendica is also ActivityPub, just a different design than Mastodon/Calckey/etc. Those are all designed more toward "twitter-clone" layout and Friendica is more "facebook-clone" with the added layer of extensibility and compatibility (ie. server addons that add additional features, allow alternate ways of doing things, and even add support for connecting to other platforms like Tumblr).
"Filtering" isn't a protocol feature, it's just a server feature where it allows you to proactively hide the posts that match the filter.
In Friendica filtering is provided by an addon, the one mentioned by @Cătă is called NSFW (it originally only filtered NSFW and later got expanded to a simple configurable filter addon), there's also Advanced Content Filter (which is harder to use but offers more complex filters), and some specialty ones like the Language Filter (it tries to identify languages and hides posts when it's certain enough that you don't speak the language).
@Robert Logger 🇳🇱 [Vivaldi] @Cătă @Kudra :maybe_verified: @Noam writes Oh definitely, but that's why you can set the confidence level with that filter. I use it set to English with a confidence of 30% and it's right the vast majority of the time (and it hides it by collapsing it, so I can see when it's doing it and can check it if I want).
@Shiri Bailem @Cătă @Steffen K9 🍮 etc. You've lost me in the discussion about recognising languages. I don't know where to look for Friendica deciding what language something is and what the confidence means.
But the filter works, unfortunately collapsing not blocking, but that'll do.
@Noam writes Don't worry about the languages thing. That's a different plugin.
Just like there is also a plugin (on top of that addons page in settings) called Advanced Content Filter. I do not know how to use it so I do not know how to guide you on that, sadly :D (seems more complex).
The more simple, aforementioned, content filter, seems easier to use for me :D
@Cătă @Noam writes @Steffen K9 🍮 If you do happen to be interested in the language filtering, click More on a post and then Languages. You'll see the top 3 guesses and their confidence.
Confidence just means how sure it is of it's guess and is measured either as a percentage of a point value (0.5 = 50%, 1 = 100%).
