That’s a useful feature, but I think what the other person meant was posts on the front page. A lot of Reddit apps let you permanently/temporarily hide posts that you’d already seen, which was really useful as a way of ‘resetting’ your feed when you’ve already scrolled through it recently
That would be an amazing feature. I am just switching the sorting options to avoid this issue. Active seems to be the most “stable” sorting, meaning the same stuff stays on top for the longest time. Hot is better, imho, as it fluctuates a bit more. If I can’t find anything new/interesting on active/hot, I switch to “new”. Tends to be full of irrelevant stuff, but at least it’s new.
That’s a lemmy feature. Some apps have this others don’t (I mean the option to change your lemmy user settings), but you can just log in your instance on a web browser, click on your name, then settings and then disable ‘show read posts’. Any post that you vote (and I think open?) counts as being read, so next time you reload your feed you won’t see them.
Thought you meant you didn’t want to keep seeing read posts on your feed. If it serves of any consolation you can turn the setting on/off so read posts show up again, also you can save posts, so you can see them on your profile’s saved section, even if they don’t show up on your regular feed anymore.
How would you decide when a post should be hidden? Explicitly marked by the user? Upvoted or downvoted? Visited the link or comments? Just curious what the user experience should be like.
A settings flag for “Hide read posts”
A settings flag for “Mark upvoted/dowvoted posts as read”
And a toggle on each post to hide/unhide. I use the feature so much that having it as a swipe action would be a dream (like archiving emails on mobile).
I just want one that will allow me to hide a posts so I’m not scrolling past the same things over and over. None of them do it.
This is the feature I need…I can overlook a lot if I had this.
On Jerboa tap once on the comment to collapse it

I want Jerboa to add swipe to go back from a post and then I’m set
They just did and its great

Similar to what I do. Browse by hot, and when that looks too samesies, switch to new.
Even worse is some of the apps (Thunder, Liftoff) don’t even distinguish read posts from unread. At least Jerboa greys it out somewhat.

That’s a good tip, but only half the solution. An account wide flag is the nuclear option, but granular control by post is important in conjunction.

All of those options.
