Lemmy itself allows you to block communities, instances, and users. But it does not support filtering by keyword, e.g. filtering out any post with the word “platypus” in the title regardless of where it was posted or by whom. With help from the comments below, here are some third party Lemmy clients that have their own implementation of keyword filtering:

I believe there might be filters on some cell apps specifically for Lemmy? Maybe someone else can chime in.

It works 80osh percent which is good enough. It’s hard for a platform to deal with total blackout if people don’t bother to alt text images.
You can also do this with voyager, for those on mobile.
