Honestly I feel like this should be a feature in Lemmy itself
Voting on a post does mark it as read after you refresh.
I made a post a while ago wishing it was the opposite, haha. On Reddit I would upvote newer text posts with few comments that I think have good potential for discussion, then when I scrolled past them on my feed again I'd take a look. I tried that here but all the posts were getting marked as read so they didn't stand out.
~~I just tested, and it does not mark it as read. ~~
I can confirm that this doesn't work for me either. I'm using cards view.
Would love for this to be fixed, this and read on scroll would help my doom scrolling massively!
Maybe it depends on what view mode you're in? After seeing your response, I refreshed my home page, up voted the first unread posts, refreshed again and they're all marked read. I'm using the small cards with the buttons underneath the title.
You were right. I was too sleep deprived to notice the subtle color change in the title, but I tried it with "dim on read" on, and it worked.
Nice, does it work with the view you are using or did you have to change it to the cards?
It worked with my current view. I had just tried it on a gif that didn't load the image, so only the title changed.
