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

  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.

  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?

  Using a combination of top day, mark read on scroll, and hide read, I regularly reach the end of the internet, and am glad.

  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.
