  So your first common ancestors are your great great grandparents, so that’s third cousin, and they’re a generation older than you, so once removed. Third cousin once removed.

  I believe that the answer is second cousin once removed.

  I believe you need to count the distance to the common ancestor from the older generation of the two people being related.

  I agree that the first common ancestor is OP’s great-great-grandparent. But only OP’s relation’s great-grandparent. So OP’s parent and OP’s relation are second cousins.

  Then the removed takes you down the tree from OP’s parent to OP.

  I did not fully understand the issue when I first wrote that comment and posted it in the wrong place on a Sync for Reddit thread.

  Nor did I fully understand the issue when I copied that comment here.

  But I did figure out a few moments later when I read the referenced report.

  I appreciate the clarification, as I’m sure will others.

  I’ve switched back to Boost in the interim.

  For greater clarity, it’s an issue with Sync for Lemmy continuing to use an API parameter that was formerly deprecated and now entirely removed from Lemmy.

  Sync for Lemmy is identifying a post that needs to be marked as read using a single value parameter, but it should use a slightly different parameter that could accept multiple posts.

  Just found this post. Copying and pasting a comment I made elsewhere:

  I just started having this problem in the past few days after it working for a long time.

  I’ve cleared all my data and reset all my settings. On the web I have it set to not show read posts. In the app I haven’t set to mark read on scroll. And to show read posts as dimmed.

  But no matter how much I scroll nothing gets dimmed, and when I refresh everything is still there.

  Quarter after four is 4:15.

  Quarter of five is 4:45. Also quarter to five and quarter til five.
