I’m finally making the switch from Reddit. The Voyager app seems like a pretty seamless transition, but I’d love to hear any tips about using this platform, or what quirks distinguish it from Reddit as a whole.

By default it's mostly politics and linux unless you browse for individual subs

    I'm sure. But we do have other communities. I myself like the edc community, calvin and hobbes, dullsters, 3d printing, greentext and general 4chan stuff, history stuff, and probably other things I have to check my subscriptions for. Point is, if you want it, find it or make it.

    I've been able to filter out certain words/phrases to help get rid of most of the political posts.

    Happy to share if anyone is wanting

    Sure, I'd like that lost if you don't mind.

    Under filters/blocks in the app I use (Boost) there's a section for blocked words. This is the list I have, and find it does a pretty good job:

    • Democrat
    • Democrats
    • Elon
    • Musk
    • Nazi
    • Putin
    • Republican
    • Republicans (need to add this one)
    • Russia
    • Tesla
    • Trump

    That’s actually pretty cool you can run filters like that

    People don't need to engage politically on every single platform they frequent. I've blocked a long list of political keywords, because 95% of the political content I see here is about a country I'm not from. Americans can scream at each other to their hearts' content without my being obligated to participate or even observe.
