How do I stop all Blue Sky content from getting boosted or otherwise injected into my timeline?

Filters don't seem to work.

If it's a bridged Bluesky account (it will have something like "brid.gy" in its account address) go to its profile page and click ⋯ and then select the option to block brid.gy.

Not sure about bridged accounts.... all the one's I see are @bsky.app and are boosted by people on mastodon.

Could you link to an example?

@FediTips

I'm starting to wonder if I just didn't give the filters enough time to kick in. This morning there are far fewer blue sky posts. And I did notice the "-brid" suffix you pointed out, on the few still appearing.

I also made a bold and possibly erroneous assumption that an asterisk would act as a wildcard in a filter. *.bsky.*

@Sunny

You can do a wildcard on filters by just putting part of a word and UN-tick the box marked "whole word", then save the filter. It will then match anything with that part of a word.

@FediTips

I'm after "[anything].bsky.[anything]", and "@bsky.[anything]"...

I understand the partial word approach, but I want any/everything, not just a set of words including certain letters.

What's the best way?

@Sunny

The best way would probably be to block the bridge domain, brid.gy. If you can find a post from bridgy you can go to its profile and then click "block bridgy".

There aren't that many bridges, so blocking them is more effective.
