Feature Request: Mark posts as read on scroll (sh.itjust.works)

Apollo had this feature where you scroll past a post and it automatically marks the post as read. This is huge because it allows you to easily doom scroll without seeing the same content twice :,)

It had this? I never knew! This sounds really useful

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It did! It was amazing, I could scroll past stuff I didn't care for and I'd never see it again.

Aaaaand it’s here. Lol they are fast.

[–] MNLFNUT8YG 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, I want this too. Now I need to swipe left every post to hide it. Apollo did this automatically indeed, which was a very nice feature.

+1. This was one of my favorite Apollo features! Swiping to hide is a bit weird. Makes the feed feel like a to do list.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Exactly. I hate actively doing that, it's really irritating

I use the hide function. I sorely miss it here.

An alternative suggestion:

Apollo allowed me to set a swipe gesture to: Hide all above

This a you to swipe, and all the posts above that one would be hidden. It made for very efficient scrolling, and it’s probably the one feature I have yet to find in any of the many Lemmy apps I’ve tried

It's still something that the user has to do actively, which imo makes the user experience worse.

[–] snowyday 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hear you. I think the point is that it would be great to have these choices, as in Apollo

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Precisely, the more options the better!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Anything that stops me from seeing the same posts every time I open the app would be nice. It feels like I have to scroll past 50+ old posts before I start seeing new content, and that's every time.

I don't know if it's something to do with Voyager, or if it's a Lemmy issue, I just know that it's annoying.
