Does blocking r/relationship_advice remove AITA posts from my feed?

No. Subreddit muting only blocks that specific subreddit in r/all — AITA posts from r/AmItheAsshole, r/relationships, and dozens of other subs will still appear. A keyword filter catches the posts by title text across all subreddits.

Can I combine keyword filtering with subreddit muting for better coverage?

Yes, and it's recommended. Use Ultimate Reddit Filter for keyword matching on post titles, and separately mute the highest-volume relationship subreddits (r/relationship_advice, r/AmItheAsshole, r/AITA, r/tifu) in your Reddit account settings for a two-layer filter.

Will this filter affect legitimate posts in subreddits I follow?

It can. Terms like 'relationship' appear in tech, business, and general discussion contexts. If you're seeing unwanted false positives, remove the broadest terms and keep only the most specific ones (AITA, NTA, ESH, relationship drama) that appear almost exclusively in advice content.

Does this work on mobile Reddit?

Not in the official Reddit app. On Android, install Kiwi Browser and add Ultimate Reddit Filter inside it. On iOS, Orion Browser supports Chrome extensions the same way. Desktop and Chromium-based browsers work immediately.

What if I want to block the content but still be able to visit those subreddits when I choose?

That's the default behavior. The filter hides matching posts from your home feed and r/all, but doesn't block the subreddit itself. You can still navigate directly to r/relationship_advice whenever you want.

How to Block Relationship Advice Posts on Reddit (2026 Guide)

To block relationship advice posts on Reddit, install Ultimate Reddit Filter and paste a keyword preset covering AITA terms, relationship drama vocabulary, and advice-seeking language. This removes content from r/AmItheAsshole, r/relationship_advice, r/tifu, and similar threads across your feed. Reddit has no native content category filter — an extension is required.

4. Enable comment filtering

Settings → enable Filter comments to catch this vocabulary in comments within threads you do visit.

Tuning tips

red flag may catch legitimate security content (“red flag warning”). Remove it if you want to keep posts about warning systems.
narcissist may catch psychology discussion you do want to see. Replace with narcissist partner or narcissist ex for more precision.
If you want to keep r/tifu for general life-fail humor but just remove the relationship-drama posts within it, don’t add the subreddit to the blocklist — keep keyword filtering only.

What this won’t do

This removes posts from your visible feed. It doesn’t affect Reddit notifications or posts in communities you directly manage. It doesn’t work in the official Reddit app — use Kiwi Browser (Android) or Orion (iOS) for mobile filtering.

Going further

Relabel mode: Instead of hiding posts, configure Ultimate Reddit Filter to label them as [filtered: advice] — you’ll know something was blocked without seeing the content.
Combine with AITA filter: The AITA-specific preset includes a subreddit block for r/BestOfRedditorUpdates, which republishes AITA content. Add it to this setup for better cross-platform coverage.
Export your list: Back up your keyword list via the extension’s export feature before reinstalling or switching browsers.

If it’s not working

Advice posts still appearing? Note the exact title format — AITA posts from r/AmIOverreacting use different vocabulary. Add am i overreacting and aio to catch that subreddit’s format.
False positives? my boyfriend and my girlfriend are broad. Replace with my boyfriend cheated, my girlfriend drama or similar compound terms if you want more precision.
Mobile not working? The Reddit mobile app cannot run extensions. Install Kiwi Browser (Android) or Orion (iOS) and add the extension inside either.
