The Voting Quota has ruined my workflow (piefed.social)

So, I used to vote on posts constantly—not really to give karma, but as a quick way to mark them as read to get them out of my feed. It was perfect: a single click, much faster than actually opening the post. But now with the new voting quota in place, I can't do that anymore without hitting the limit. According to discussions on the instance, the quota was implemented to limit voting activity, and it's already affecting users who vote frequently.

The "Hide posts I've interacted with" setting is still there, but it relies on that interaction happening . What am I supposed to do now? Opening each post to mark it as read is significantly slower. Is there another way to mark posts as read in bulk that I'm missing, or is this just how it's going to be now?

I’m horrified that you’re using Piefed for work.

Have you considered using Piefed client that has „mark all as read” button or „mark as read on scroll” features? Voyager does this, I’m pretty sure many others do. Another approach is to browse content sorted by new. In such setup all you need to know if content is above or below your scrolling position.

Mark Read on Scroll is definitely the way to go for something like this
