We’ve got a lot of Lemmy app options rolling out soon—it’s exciting!

What do you wish was better about the current way you browse Lemmy, and what features do you hope to have down the road?

I'm mostly waiting for marking posts as read as you scroll by and hiding read posts (but only in your feed). I think this is especially important with the federated content that might come in later than when I "scrolled past" the point in time it would appear in my feed.

"come in later"? You want a feed that live updates?

They probably mean that you can't just scroll through and say "okay, I have seen everything created up to the point when I loaded this page" because some posts created earlier might only appear in your feed later.

No.

But say, I'm currently looking at my Subscriptions sorted by New. I doomscroll until I see stuff that is 10 hours old. While I do that posts could come in that are 5 hours old. But the next time I doomscroll I wouldn't go that far back because I think I've already seen stuff that old.

If what I have seen already was automatically marked as read and not showing for me, I would still see the 5 hours old stuff because that wouldn't have been marked as read.
