With all these new options springing up, I’m a little outdated. What’s the best app to use right now?

    I just want one that will allow me to hide a posts so I’m not scrolling past the same things over and over. None of them do it.

        That’s a useful feature, but I think what the other person meant was posts on the front page. A lot of Reddit apps let you permanently/temporarily hide posts that you’d already seen, which was really useful as a way of ‘resetting’ your feed when you’ve already scrolled through it recently

      That would be an amazing feature. I am just switching the sorting options to avoid this issue. Active seems to be the most “stable” sorting, meaning the same stuff stays on top for the longest time. Hot is better, imho, as it fluctuates a bit more. If I can’t find anything new/interesting on active/hot, I switch to “new”. Tends to be full of irrelevant stuff, but at least it’s new.

      That’s a lemmy feature. Some apps have this others don’t (I mean the option to change your lemmy user settings), but you can just log in your instance on a web browser, click on your name, then settings and then disable ‘show read posts’. Any post that you vote (and I think open?) counts as being read, so next time you reload your feed you won’t see them.

      How would you decide when a post should be hidden? Explicitly marked by the user? Upvoted or downvoted? Visited the link or comments? Just curious what the user experience should be like.

        All of those options.

        A settings flag for “Hide read posts” A settings flag for “Mark upvoted/dowvoted posts as read” And a toggle on each post to hide/unhide. I use the feature so much that having it as a swipe action would be a dream (like archiving emails on mobile).
