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.

      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 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 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?”

      Well you can just click on the post too. The upvote would be like, you’ve seen a meme, you don’t care to click into the post but you like it and don’t need to see it again.

        So I have to view things that I don’t want to view to make them go away? That’s just bad UI.

          You right, you right. I wasn’t thinking of posts you don’t want to see at all.

    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.

    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.
