I’ve been using Connect for a couple of months now and really like it. I’m using the Beta on Kuro’s recommendation for some (for me) killer features that I am looking to replicate on Desktop. I don’t know if these features are now available in the main Connect release (yet?) but anyway:

  • Filters: Exclude posts from your feed if post contains a filter word (regex)
  • Community filters: Exclude communities from your feed if post contains a filter word (regex)
  • Blocked instances

What’s my most straightforward route to getting these on a desktop? I am using an M2 Mac, typically with Google Chrome, but I don’t mind using an extension or a different browser for this.

I’m aware that I can install some iOS applications and can currently see

  • Memmy for Lemmy
  • Thunder for Lemmy
  • Voyager for Lemmy
  • Avelon for Lemmy
  • Milem for Lemmy
  • Liftoff! for Lemmy
  • Lemmi (not a Lemmy app!)
  • Lemmios
  • Bean for Lemmy
  • CheeseBot for Lemmy

but I can’t readily find one which has these features and the mobile on desktop experience is not ideal. Also not keen on apps insisting on a login to even preview use.

I’m also aware that there are also android emulators for Mac but I don’t have experience with these to know which if any of these might be suitable for daily use for my purpose.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
