Is it possible to block individual posts?

If so, how? If not, please could that be added as a feature?

We have the other comment talking about spiders as a topic, is that the kind of use-case you mean OP? If not, some examples/explanation would be good, even if it's just part of building up a feature request.

I assumed they meant something like a button to hide or downvote to hide post. But I mentioned the filters since that's all I've seen currently available among the lemmy apps

Yeah I just want some way to hide or otherwise prevent myself from viewing arbitrary individual posts. A button next to the post that does that when pressed would be a convenient solution.

If you are seeing a repeated post that you don't like I can recommend turning off read posts

It'll be in user settings; check the box next to "show read posts"

Other than that... There isn't much

I wish there was a way to mark things as read without reading or voting.
