Hide posts? (lemmy.ca)

Is there a way to hide posts? I have slight arachnophobia and want to be able to hide posts when they contain spiders without having to block a community or a user.

To fair, I think the only way to executevthat would be to implement an image recognition algorithm, as I don't see lemmings marking arachnids as a tag on their posts even as arachnophobia is one of the most common phobias out there (to be fair, I think Mastodon has stronger culture for tagging trigger warnings).

That said, if you have SLIGHT arachnophobia, I'd almost recommed exposure thereaphy with a professional psychiatrist, as if you have some tolerance, it's easier to work on than full on panic without ant tolerance.

I think they're saying that they just want to be able to hide the post once they've seen it so it doesn't keep popping up, not to prevent from seeing it at all.

Yeah that's what I meant. I've seen the spider, I hated seeing it and don't want to see it again when I come back and restart my scrolling lol

It used to be a lot worse but I basically underwent exposure therapy by working in a place where there were tons of spiders!

But yes, as the other commenter stated, I would like to be able to hide it once I've already seen it, in order to prevent having to see it again.

I tought hiding read posts was a feature of Lemmy itself. To be fair, I swapped to Connect from Jerboa after I suggested quality of life update UI, and tge response was rather hostile in my opinion. I mention that because in Connect, hiding posts and comments is bit too easy, as I tend to do that mostly by missclicks.

That said, I'd imagine implementing a feature to hide post shouldn't be too hard of a task to program in, I'd imagine.
