Ignoring/Hiding Posts? (beehaw.org)

I'm struggling to curate my experience on Lemmy. Some posts constantly dominate my feed, even after resorting various ways.

Is there a way to ignore or hide posts? 🙏

I could be crazy, but it seems like pinned posts are pinned on my main feed just as as they are pinned within a community.

I do not necessarily wish to ignore entire communities in this case (which I know how to do). I am talking about individual posts.

Using the Jerboa app has helped because posts can be shown in a condensed form rather than the large cards. And yet still so much scrolling to see anything new...

I'm having issues with it too. I think the massively increased load must be causing the interface to misbehave. Nothing like finding all the bugs when volume is high. fun!

Anyway, I tried yesterday to find a post/thread that I'd commented in. No amount of sorting in that community was bringing it up. I could only find it by following the comment link in my profile. So right now, I have the feeling that I'm missing a good bit of content while also seeing older popular content still dominating my feed. I'm hopeful that they've noticed these issues and will see how they can rectify them eventually.

I'm glad to know that I'm not insane. I was actually getting pretty frustrated thinking that I just wasn't able to understand something basic.

This comment sheds light on the types of pinned posts. I didn't realize there was a sight wide pin capability. I think this has been the biggest source of my madness.

I don't have a fancy phone with huge resolution and DPI. I really really really really really really really really really really really wish I could hide/ignore posts

Regarding your searches, it wasn't immediately obvious to me via the mobile browser interface, but you should be able to search here: https://beehaw.org/search

Unfortunately, if you're using the Jerboa app, I don't see the post search capability yet.
