Is there a way to hide posts? (lemmy.world)

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?

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

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

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

I'd love to have this feature, or a "mark as read" button at least

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".

[–] Protegee9850@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

There’s the setting „Show read posts“ which can be disabled to hide already read and/or up-/downvoted posts.

Not that I'm aware of, no. It might already be on a TODO list
