Do you want Mastodon to automatically hide certain kinds of posts?
Or do you want Mastodon to automatically place certain kinds of posts behind a content warning that you can click open?
You can do both of these things by using Mastodon's filters feature. Filters lets you automatically hide posts with particular words, phrases, hashtags, links or emoji in them. More info on how to create and use filters in the guide at:

I'm waiting for the filter function when a media description is missing.

️ https://fedi.tips/filtering-your-timeline-to-hide-posts-on-mastodon@FediTips Do you know if there’s a way to apply filters to accounts from specific instances? For example, say Instance A uses a hashtag to talk about fun history facts, and Instance B uses the same one to discuss darker turns in our past. Both are valid ways to use the tag, but I might want to filter out Instance B’s use of it for mental health reasons. Is there a way to filter out posts with that tag, but only in profiles from that instance?

️ https://fedi.tips/filtering-your-timeline-to-hide-posts-on-mastodon@FediTips When you set filters, on your profile, are they applied when you connect with an external client, such as on a mobile? How about the other direction? I don't see this working on my instance web site. I hid some hashtags, in a client, yet, they are visible in my mobile.

@wx1g @FediTips depends on how the client has implemented it. If you set a filter via the website, it applies everywhere. Some clients (like @IceCubesApp) let you set server-level filters in-app. Others (like @MonaApp) have their own separate filtering implementation that only works in their client.

@brh I've recently switched to Ice Cubes, and will try, there.

I don't think there is that function, sorry.

Yeah, if the app is doing some kind of non-standard filtering then it won't sync with the website or any other app.
That's why it's a good idea to use the official filters because they should sync across the website and apps that support it.
You might want to set up the filters on the website as the website is the reference implementation of Mastodon's features. That's why the web gets features first.
