Newb here. In my main feed, I see some posts over and over again. I see a post, click “Next” and there it is again. And again on the next page, and a couple of others I’ve already seen too. And again on the next page. (Sometimes they are cross-posts to a different /c, but mostly not.)
It’s annoying having to wade through post after post I’ve already seen.
What I’ve tried so far:
- Set main feed to “New” rather than “Active” etc.
- “Hide this post” when I see it for the third or fourth time
Are there other ways?
I think Lemmy has an issue with the same community existing on multiple servers and the “big stories” tend to get posted to all of them. So you’ll mark a post as read on (for example) linux@lemmy.world only to see it again a minute later on linux@lemmy.ml. If this is what you’re experiencing, I don’t think there’s a solution yet, but I think some options are being worked on.
Thanks for the info.
One thing: I don’t see a “Mark as Read” button.
I might have the wrong terminology: when I say “my main feed”, I don’t mean an RSS feed in a feed reader, I just mean what I see when I go to my instance’s homepage ( https://lemmy.ca/ ) in my web browser.
I’m on lemmy.ca too. I almost exclusively do Lemmy with the Jerboa app on my phone which has a setting to automatically mark as read on scroll. I thought the web interface did this too, but I can’t see it. Now I’m confused 🤔
