Do you want Mastodon to automatically hide certain kinds of posts?
Or do you want Mastodon to automatically place certain kinds of posts behind a content warning that you can click open?
You can do both of these things by using Mastodon's filters feature. Filters lets you automatically hide posts with particular words, phrases, hashtags, links or emoji in them. More info on how to create and use filters in the guide at:

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services When you set filters, on your profile, are they applied when you connect with an external client, such as on a mobile? How about the other direction? I don't see this working on my instance web site. I hid some hashtags, in a client, yet, they are visible in my mobile.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services Do you know if there’s a way to apply filters to accounts from specific instances? For example, say Instance A uses a hashtag to talk about fun history facts, and Instance B uses the same one to discuss darker turns in our past. Both are valid ways to use the tag, but I might want to filter out Instance B’s use of it for mental health reasons. Is there a way to filter out posts with that tag, but only in profiles from that instance?

I'm waiting for the filter function when a media description is missing.

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services thanks for the tip. Glad I follow this account

I don't think there is that function, sorry.
