Has Anyone found a userscript or extension to instantly hide viewed links? (self.plugins)

This was a HUGE part of my reddit experience and I have yet to found an alternate.

I began using kbin instead of lemmy because of this userscript which has pretty much the exact functionality I'm looking for

but Kbin blocks a LOT of communities that I want to interface with. I feel like I'm missing out if I'm not on Lemmy ... but I feel like I hate the user experience without the automatically hiding posts :(

Any advise?

Try unchecking "Show read posts" in Settings?

That only hides the post after you refuse the page

this would almost certainly require an extension, since you'd need some sort of persistent way to track "viewed" items. I don't think a userscript can do it.

Best bet will probably be Instance Assistant ([email protected] ), at some point in the future. Could always make a request directly, too since this would likely be a relatively popular feature.

Technically correct, but you already have that extension installed if you're able to run userscripts.

The script just requires // @grant GM_setValue and // @grant GM_getValue and you can use those functions to store whatever, forever (or until you clear extension data).
