YSK there is a setting in your Lemmy profile to hide posts that you've seen. Upvoting counts as interacting with that post and will hide it after refresh.
Also, if this selected, it will hide any posts you make. I have been saving the posts I make as a favorite until Lemmy fixes this.
I'd like a hide post button. I sometimes want to hide posts, but not usually ones I've interacted with.
I was thinking about that as well. But what Lemmy needs right now are interactions even if it’s just votes.
There should really be an option to simply hide posts...
I hope we come to a better solution than upvoting things to mark them read and make them go away. That generates a lot of noise in the voting data. Say what you want about whether votes are useful for sorting content, but flooding them with garbage data can only make them worse.
Yeah, if there was a "confirm seen" button between up and down voting that'd be good for this. You don't want to register positive or negative for it, just mark it as read. Maybe this should be (optionally maybe) automatic for any post scrolled past?
Apollo had both actions for “mark this post read” and “mark all posts read to this point in the feed.”
And you could configure which gestures would do which actions. I customized it with the actions I actually use, and used the shit out of them.
This is one of this little answers to the question “what was so great about Apollo anyway?”
I'd like to thank you guys with all the YSK post explaining the little intricacies of lemmy. It's been a huge help the past few days to get situated here.
I like this however I don’t want to never see a post again when I view it but definitely would like to be able to hide posts or communities manually
I use jerboa. Can someone tell me how to do that? Or suggest an app with such feature?
Top left lines, settings, username settings, uncheck show read posts.
Thank you for the information.
Three lines in top left > settings > [username] settings > scroll down > uncheck "show read posts"
Oh so it is available. Thank you for the information.
It's worth noting that this setting also hides then from search results, which is pretty silly imo. So when searching, use a different account/different browser
Hm but then you won't see that the post you were engaging with had new comments since your last visit
oh my gad, where have you been all this time?!
Thank you for this! Just made the adjustment, I was starting to get a bit annoyed with the same top/ active posts showing for the last day
Can anyone confirm if toggling this on web carries over to mobile apps?
Yes it does. It's a hard setting for your Lemmy profile that is applied to your account, which effects your apps. Some apps allow you to change this in the settings.
Yeah, I'm really hoping Lemmy gets a manual hide/unhide feature similar to Reddit at some point.
Is there a way to change the default comment sort?
Not at the moment. You can only select three sort type for posts and your default homepage. But these are in the works.
Hello there, and welcome to our community! I hope you like it in here.
Could you please include some body text as to why should people know this, and how would that help them? It’s our second rule. Thank you :)
