It would be really handy to have posts auto marked as read on scroll like some other clients do, makes keeping a fresh feed basically guaranteed.

Please add this feature! +1

On a side note, I could have sworn that this used to be a feature on boost for the reddit version? I've used so many different apps on lemmy, I don't remember anymore haha

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I also believe this was a feature.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

This is a must have for me or I simply don't use the app. An important detail though: it should only mark posts as read if I've scrolled past them! Not any post that can be seen on the screen.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I second this. Was really nice on the other app.

For those wanting to hide read posts.

Settings -> Account Preferences -> Toggle: "Show read posts" -> "Save"

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, i have that, but you need to interact with a post for this to then take effect, you need to click it or upvote or whatever. Several clients on Reddit would simply make them as seen just by scrolling past them

Yep, just wanted to let people know that they can in the very least hide already read posts. It's not a very intuitive setting to find which is why I mentioned it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yea please!

Feature Request for this Feature Request: give the option to gray out read posts instead of hiding rhem, and/or the option to jump to the first unread post.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Settings -> Theme -> Customize Colors -> Read Post

Change the color to a grey.

Settings -> General -> Posts -> Advanced -> Dim images in read post

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Ah! Thank you!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Yes please! I randomly open lemmy a couple of times a day and would love not to scroll through the same things every time. It worked really well on boost for reddit

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Came here to post this. Everything else is perfect so far but this is the feature everyone else was lacking. Already purchased the ad free.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Agreed. Used it all the time on Boost for Reddit, that's the only thing that I miss on the Beta

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

This is the one! This is why I wanted boost in the first place. For now I'll just keep using Sync, which has this. I don't need full feature parity with the old app, but this one is especially important since lemmy is so much slower paced than Reddit.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

How are we doing on this? I'm missing this feature almost every day.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Same here, very keen for it to be added

[โ€“] bobagem 1 points 9 months ago

Yes, please. I need to be able to get to the end of the internet. I don't want to keep looking at the same posts over and over.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Waiting for this.

I was happy when I heard boost was released, but since this vital feature is missing from the Lemmy version I cant use it. Literally every other Lemmy app I tried has this feature. Why would you force users to go through the context menu and hide read posts literally every time they open the app?
