A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

With all these new options springing up, I'm a little outdated. What's the best app to use right now?

That's a lemmy feature. Some apps have this others don't (I mean the option to change your lemmy user settings), but you can just log in your instance on a web browser, click on your name, then settings and then disable 'show read posts'. Any post that you vote (and I think open?) counts as being read, so next time you reload your feed you won't see them.

That's a good tip, but only half the solution. An account wide flag is the nuclear option, but granular control by post is important in conjunction.

Thought you meant you didn't want to keep seeing read posts on your feed. If it serves of any consolation you can turn the setting on/off so read posts show up again, also you can save posts, so you can see them on your profile's saved section, even if they don't show up on your regular feed anymore.

Hah, well, leaving the app to go to the mobile site to toggle the option on and off isn't much consolation.
