Shadow release

There is a "shadow release" v0.1.26 rolling out right now. It doesn't add any features. It just fixes some bugs. That is all.

I'm calling it a shadow release because I'm not making a new post for it

Shadow release 2

Based on the wonderful discussion in https://lemmy.world/post/1350726, I have made some changes to how "Hide read" works. This update should hopefully be available in the play store in ~ 1 hour. We are on v0.1.29 now because I had to make some hot fixes along the way.

You need to disable "show read post" first. Tap on your account (top right). Tap on the gear icon next to your account. Disable "Show read posts". Then tap save.

By the way if there is a different implementation of this you would prefer please let me know. I'm not used to this workflow so I just implemented what I thought made sense.

You are right, that made the button to appear.

I don't know how this should be implemented on Lemmy, but on Reddit this is done all through the app clients, scrolling down mark as read the posts, then you have s button to hide them all.

This setting is per app only.

I see. I'm guessing on Reddit, there was no server setting to hide read posts whereas on lemmy there is. This kind of complicates things as there are two ways to implement this feature. One that is 100% client side and the other that is server side.

I think there is an error in the implementation point. I used sycn for lemmy for a long time. This is something I'm used to. Server setting should be applied to the fab button. The hide read and show read feature in the server setting should be applied to the fab button. There should not be two different systems.
