I feel like posts need to age quicker

Maybe this is unpopular but I'm getting tired of opening lemmy and having to scroll past the same post that I have viewed already, half of the posts on the front page are 2 or 3 days old.

I turned off the show read in the account settings. I don't see the articles I'm reading.

My issue with it is it is VERY literal. So like you can't even see the posts in your post history because you've read them. So needs some work still lol.

Yep. On plebbit you were able to actively hide certain posts. I would like posts to remain available on communities I car about.

Not ideal for me. I like to keep tabs on the conversation on post. I will often see a post that is making its way up the page with a few comments and will check back in as I am browsing when it has hundreds.

I just realized I never did this on reddit because I would check the post, reply to some comments and move on and never go back lol! I don't think I want to do that here.

I like that the webui highlights new comments. It's nice to get back to a good thread and see how it develops.

My reddit goto was to mark as read as I scroll and then Boost had a "Clear all read" button I could press. It would only clear until I refreshed my feed then they would show up again until I hit the button again. It felt like a good balance.

That could work somewhat if it was an option on the actual feed next to subscribed/local/all and sort type.

Bingo this has made it tolerable for me. But I miss the swipe to hide feature from Reddit is Fun. That way I don't actually have to click on the post if I don't care about it.
