If you liked Relay, try Thunder. It has the dismiss read feature that made Relay my go-to. It’s the only app I’ve seen that has it, maybe because I joined the dev team to add it.

As does Sync. At least on Android

So it does! I didn’t find it when I tried it, I guess.
But if one doesn’t want to pay to rid Sync of ads, Thunder is an open source, free, actively developed alternative. It’s still not feature complete, but I’ve been happily using it since I hopped over from reddit. And contributed a good few features myself, like user and community sidebars.
The next update will include my work on an indicator that shows if and how many new comments a post you’ve already visited has received since you last opened it (like in the webUI). And some other guys on the team have gotten notifications implemented.

You guys have got ads on Sync? I haven’t and I’m still using the free version.
I wouldn’t recommend Sync at this stage anymore as the lone developer is gone completely AFK for months.
Despite charging £100 for a premium app tier…
Do yourself a favour and use something else. At some point I’ll try out Connect.

Thank you for that!

Dismiss read? Like a button to hide read posts? Voyager has that too.

Good! But it definitely didn’t back when I implemented it in Thunder half a year ago.
And the way I want it to work is the way it did in Relay. The button dismisses currently loaded read posts, but scrolling further will still load in read posts, and refreshing brings them all back.
They don’t get permanently hidden, nor do you need to untoggle a setting to see them again next time you refresh.
Is that how Voyager does it?
aeharding@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It is currently permanent (with option to show hidden in communities), but temporary is a good idea. I don’t think anyone has requested that on Github yet!
