First off, huge props. Lemmy seems to really nail the potential that early Reddit had, and having found some niche communities it seems like it actually won’t be impossible to build critical mass as a serious replacement. One feature im missing is a way to hide individual posts. I don’t want to block the user or the community, but there’s tons of times when I really want to never see a particular post again. Is that feature already here, or where would I make the suggestion?

    One of my favourite features of my Reddit app (Sync) is “Mark Read on Scroll” and “Hide Read Posts” as an action button on the main screen. Something like that would be fantastic

      Sync had a hide upvoted and down voted posts I loved. In my mind if I was “done” with a post after reading everything I’d vote on it and wouldn’t have to worry about it vanishing if something came up and essentially restarted at my front page.

      The other obvious use being down voting a post meant I didn’t have to see it again.

    There’s a “Show Read Posts” checkbox in settings. Is that not what you are looking for?

    As far as I have noticed, if you’ve voted on the post that also counts as “read”.

      Not quite. It’s more like, “Oh, I definitely don’t want to see this post, I don’t want to read it or see the headline or the thumbnail ever again.” It might be cringe, it might be triggering, it might be gore or spoilers or anything else – where I don’t want to block the user or the community, but DEFINITELY don’t want to see the post/thread.

    There’s the setting „Show read posts“ which can be disabled to hide already read and/or up-/downvoted posts.
