Sync for Lemmy @lemmy.world alexrmay91 @lemm.ee 1y ago

Can we make the recent change on hidden posts a toggle or revert to beta 33?

The recent change today that makes hidden posts permanent after a page refresh instead of temporary has seriously bugged the way I browse Lemmy.

Now if I have too many posts hidden, my front page won't even load. I'd really prefer the choice to hide posts I've seen/scrolled past. Can we at least get a toggle to enable the old functionality?

Yes, a quick way to unhide would be really nice. What also would be nice is a quick way to see at a glance that there is stuff that you have hidden here or something like that.
I'd like that as well, there isn't enough content on lemmy to permanently hide posts but I like being able to temporarily hide them so I can see what's new
- I find that it's precisely because there isn't enough content that after I've viewed and interacted - hell even after I've seen the same post 14 times, it goes bye bye. And I don't want to see it again on page refresh.
  
  This is why a toggle is best.
Really the issue is that when all posts are hidden, Sync doesn't try to load more.

I switched my Lemmy settings to "hide on read" but it broke Sync because Sync would refuse to fetch posts if I had already seen everything on the first 2-3 pages. I had to flip that setting back off on Lemmy's end in order to get it to load things.
