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?
It looks like this was requested but not planned to be worked on. Could you add to this issue? https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/1403
I think as a user this is the best place where you can suggest. If you are comfortable with github, then you can post there too: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
Also, although Mastodon has different purposes from Lemmy, it does have a more robust filter system. You might want to check that out as well.
Something like a simple hide read / voted.
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.
It would be really helpful there was a similar feature for stickied posts too 😒
I’d love to have this feature, or a “mark as read” button at least
This seems like the most elegant solution. I don’t want to downvote or upvote somethjng just to get it off my feed, a simple “mark as read” button next to the up/down votes would be a great easy solution.
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.
Thank you! Was looking for that!
Not that I’m aware of, no. It might already be on a TODO list
There’s the setting „Show read posts“ which can be disabled to hide already read and/or up-/downvoted posts.
