I feel like posts need to age quicker (lemmy.world)

Maybe this is unpopular but I'm getting tired of opening lemmy and having to scroll past the same post that I have viewed already, half of the posts on the front page are 2 or 3 days old.

That is a feature available in your settings.

Awesome! Where in settings is it? I can only see “hide on read”

[-] Protegee9850@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

The checkbox is checked by default so uncheck “show read posts”

We really need a button to "mark as read". While this is all new, I don't want to block anything yet without seeing how it might evolve.

Ah, I thought you meant a setting to hide a post after a upvote or downvote. This setting is for hiding read posts, so not quite what I meant. Thanks anyway!

Oh right but should have added that upvoting or downvoting a post counts as reading it. I wish there was a “mark as read” button but this should still do what you want I think

[-] Ashatmapants@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Just tried it and you’re right! Thanks!

I will say that IME it "works"... only barely, and occasionally not. I swear I've up/downvoted things to get them off my feed but they still appear at the top. I have no idea why that is happening 🤷
