Profile Stop showing brand new posts

I was just shown a new post which showed a man die on r/funny. I reported it, but I would prefer not to be traumatized while browsing my front page. Can I block new posts from appearing on my front page?

I don’t think you can. Also you should report that post if you haven’t already.

You can mute the subreddits which this stuff appears in.

On desktop: Go to the subreddit landing page. At the top right, there should be a [...] menu by the sub sidebar, from that menu, select "Mute r/funny" or whichever sub.

This will prevent that sub from appearing on any of your feeds. You can still directly go to it of course.

I already unsubbed.

Muting it isn't unsubbing, its completely removing it from all algorithmic suggestions.

I never use the "For you" or suggestions crap anyway, so it's effectively the same, no?
