Ignoring/Hiding Posts? (self.support)

I'm struggling to curate my experience on Lemmy. Some posts constantly dominate my feed, even after resorting various ways.

Is there a way to ignore or hide posts? 🙏

I could be crazy, but it seems like pinned posts are pinned on my main feed just as as they are pinned within a community.

I do not necessarily wish to ignore entire communities in this case (which I know how to do). I am talking about individual posts.

Using the Jerboa app has helped because posts can be shown in a condensed form rather than the large cards. And yet still so much scrolling to see anything new...

I'm glad to know that I'm not insane. I was actually getting pretty frustrated thinking that I just wasn't able to understand something basic.

This comment sheds light on the types of pinned posts. I didn't realize there was a sight wide pin capability. I think this has been the biggest source of my madness.

I don't have a fancy phone with huge resolution and DPI. This means a lot of scrolling for me. I really really really really really really really really really really really wish I could hide/ignore posts

Regarding your searches, it wasn't immediately obvious to me via the mobile browser interface, but you should be able to search here: https://beehaw.org/search

Unfortunately, if you're using the Jerboa app, I don't see the post search capability yet.
