Setting downvote thresholds to hide low quality content? (lemmy.world)

Is there still no way to have your feeds filtered to not show any posts with a score below a certain threshold? This is particularly of interest for posts with negative scores. This was a basic feature on Reddit, and it's something I can't believe Lemmy is still lacking. So maybe I've missed it somehow?

This would make community moderation much better as low quality content could be easily hidden from user's feeds without need of intervention from a mod. When I see a post with a negative 50 score it boggles my mind why my time was wasted in seeing it at all.

I've looked all through the settings in the web UI and in Voyager and have not found a way to enable this. Any ideas? Do maybe other apps have that ability?

By low quality do you mean any unpopular opinions ?

[–] ZephyrXero@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean like when people post pseudoscience to a science community or something that's completely off topic. Or maybe a poor stick figure being submitted to an art community. The community voting filter is integral, and if you don't like it you should just use Mastodon rather than Lemmy

Is every unpopular opinions about something serious as giving psuedoscience trash?

Denying scientific science or saying uncientific science is not opinions it's objectively false claims

If you don't vibe with what's popular in your community, maybe you should find a different community. That's the beauty of the fediverse

That's whst we call trying to create echo chambers. I don't want that
