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.

Lemmy setting to hide read posts

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.

It is laughable to think this is true because Trump follows news about himself and his administration quite closely, and this is all over the news.

It is also characteristic of Trump to say he "knows nothing about" all kinds of things that he wishes he knew nothing about, from George Papadopoulos to Project 2025.

I do not assume he is telling the truth. I assume he is lying. My interpretation is that the commenter you are responding to also thinks that he is lying, because it would be laughable to think this is true.

I tried to be a good citizen and search for a similar request, but I failed to put the right keywords together.

Yes, thanks. I have found that. But a long press doesn't save a lot of time over a short click. I'm looking to scroll right by.

When I'm scrolling through posts, I can set the display to show the community or not, show the user or not, but I can't show the URL itself. Really all I want is to see the domain, so I can judge if a click will be taking me to dailymail or rawstory or msn or foxnews.

This information is available in the website view as highlighted in the screenshot.

Is this a missing feature or am I just missing the setting?

Edit: Feature added. Thanks, Rubén!

Key sequence? Chord progression? Story plot? Emotional journey? Dramatic arc?

In addition to the other answers: Great Replacement Theory.

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore.

Republican politicians have used the conspiracy theory to discredit the Democrats, falsely accusing them of inviting migrants to the country who would then give the Democratic Party an electoral edge.
