I’m confused, is it not on everyone’s settings for their default Lemmy profile?
“Show Read Posts” is a checkmark you can unclick if you want to hide them…
I’m using the Boost for Lemmy app on Android. My memory is that the Sync for Lemmy app also has the “mark read on scroll past” feature. I thought I read a discussion that implied that some web Uis for Lemmy also had this, but that’s not what I use and not what I know.
What client are you using to read Lemmy?

Correct. But the additional feature is available on some clients. The additional feature is to mark posts as read when you merely scroll past them. That way I don’t have to keep scrolling past the same post every time I check Lemmy. I mean, I still scroll past the same link multiple times when different people have posted it to different instances, but I never see the exact same post twice.

Oh interesting, only use desktop so I’m not on mobile so probably missing out on some cool features being developed by others.
Do you feel the apps do a better job of representing a post on the main scroll feed nowadays? I always felt like it lacked context when you were just reading a small excerpt, but I can see something like that easily approved upon and updated.
I do feel the same as the OP poster though, I honestly can’t even get past the first page if I actually click and read the comments and look into the information being presented. One post can completely sidetrack me for a day if people start making claims that are untrue and it’s a whole rabbit hole to get to the bottom of it.

In Boost, I’m happy with Card View that shows pretty big thumbnail and a healthy extract.

Asking into the void is there a way to do this on Voyager? Swapped from sync cause (far as I could tell) there’s still no mod features and the amount of “glide couldn’t grab this image” was frustrating, but haven’t found a way yet to hide posts you’ve seen. Like I know some links are going to be reposted multiple times, but much as I love tenforward I’ve been scrolling past the same gowron eyes memes the last few days on my feed (they’re great memes, but I can only see them so many times lol).
