From my experience, CW only works if the post is completely hidden from the feed without the option to view it.
Blahaj Zone had the option to yeet that shit from the timeline entirely and it worked amazingly until a migration fucked that up leaving it broken for months and my mental health dropped off a cliff because holy fuck did I not realise most of the people I followed posted so much depressing shit that triggered my cptsd. The urge to click the button was too strong.
Its par for the Fediverse course, really. Good ideas and half-assed implementations.
Some criticism might be deserved, but that seems a little harsh since they're not getting paid for it.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Some Lemmy apps have keyword filters that may help?
Definitely! Voyager has been wonderful when it comes to filtering and my filter/block list is massive. I do have the issue where the Lemmy timelines get stale quickly and All is a ghost town but its worth it to see mostly positive things. The desktop experience is atrocious.
On the microblog side, moving to an instance running Sharkey was the best thing to do as Sharkey has the feature to hide the CWs entirely.
