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.
Hm but then you won't see that the post you were engaging with had new comments since your last visit
There should really be an option to simply hide posts...
It’s also worth noting that the “Hide Posts” setting also hides your posts too, so if you need to edit a post you’ll have to unhide it.
Tbh this thing is super annoying rn.
Yeah, I'm really hoping Lemmy gets a manual hide/unhide feature similar to Reddit at some point.
For me it's annoyng because it'll hide my own posts, which I'll check to see if I uploaded to a community I liked for that day.
Keep it, but make it easier to find on the main page instead of hidden in settings.
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 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?”
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
Thanks for the info but will this eventually reflect in wefwef? Because it's the only app I use to surf lemmy.
Yes. It affected every app that I used so far. The only one I'm not sure is connect for lemmy (android), because it has its own hide read posts settings.
Yeah, I'm really hoping Lemmy gets a manual hide/unhide feature similar to Reddit at some point.
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
A true hero
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.
Can anyone confirm if toggling this on web carries over to mobile apps?
Has dramatically improved my experience on the site
Thanks for this! I’ve seen the same few posts in my r/all feed for a couple days now and this completely fixes it.
I'd rather hide the posts that I've downvoted.
It does work like that too. So both.
Atm this is a quite hacky way to do it. Wish it didn't hide your own posts, and only affected active and hot for like a day after seeing the post
This is super cool shit thanks!
oh my gad, where have you been all this time?!
Will this only hide those posts on the frontpage or also on other pages?
Don't see this option in kbin.
Kbin doesn't have that option. I have kbin and thinks it's better than Lemmy but there's not enough customization or apps at the moment for me to make that switch.
Game changer holy shit thanks! I assumed I'd have to wait for the app I use to implement that
oh my gad, where have you been all this time?!
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.
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
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 :)
