Any possibility of a "Mark as read on scroll" feature to Jerboa?

This was a feature that I fell in love with on Boost. I like to sort by top day and do short quick bursts of scrolling through the feed, so it helped a lot.

I'm not even sure if it's possible on lemmy, or if anyone else feels they'd get use from it as well.

That would really be useful, if I scrolled past a post the first time, I will also scroll past it every other time, I don't need to see it again.

Not to hijack this, but is there any Lemmy app out there that does this currently?

None that I have found. Been looking to replace Joey and its the only feature that I need in a Lemmy app.

Fellow joey user, love this feature and need it too

Mark as read while scrolling > hide read on re-open > (in case you need to re watch something) temporarly unhide read posts

Workaround on Jerboa (maybe also other apps, haven't checked) - turn on "hide read posts" and simply upvote/downvote as you scroll. Upvoting/downvoting marks posts as read in Jerboa even if you haven't clicked in, so it's pretty effective.

It's a nice workaround for sure, but the only thing I don't like is that it auto-updates. If I click on a post and then go back to the list, the post is gone. I wish it only hid the post until I manually refreshed the page.

Or at least it would be nice to color differently posts that have already been seen. And when clicking on already-read posts only expand the new comments.

Is there a Way to Hide Posts from Feed that has been Marked Read ?
