Similiar to email filters, does Lemmy know of any IRL tips to filter out junk mail?

You say all countries, but it's obvious that this is country specific. So here's my tip: move to Canada, the postal service has a duty to respect ~~"no junk mail sings"~~"no junk mail" signs.
If junk mail did sing, I would opt in
Yup, you can put a red dot in your mailbox as an indicator that you don't want any unaddressed mail. You will still get anything with your address on it and political party mail (they have to deliver those) but it cuts out the best majority of crap.
All countries, as in this post isn't just focusing on one country.
I guess in that sense that is the tip for Canada.
And yeah it's great. I know a number of Americans who were quite surprised, and pleased. Yeah the post is somewhat more expensive overall, but you have a choice not to get flooded with spam which is totally worth it.
