Hiding read posts means they’re now lost (when you’re logged in) if you didn’t save the link somewhere. Can’t find it after a day and now you have to check it on incognito.
But if you don’t hide posts you’ve already read, you end up with the same posts on your feed.
it’s a very small nitpick though. having new posts load every time I visit lets me see a lot of new content, I wouldn’t have seen otherwise.
I hope some app devs can put up a section for “read posts” locally so instances aren’t overwhelmed.
