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…

    That’s interesting, I have the opposite problem in that Jerboa doesn’t seem to want to obey my global default sort, but I don’t have any issues with the site forgetting it.

    I do agree that it would be nice to have an option to hide posts. It looks like there is a similar feature request on the lemmy-ui repo but I don’t know when they’ll get around to it.

      Good point. I’m looking at the issues related to this both on the front and back end. Looks like “MarkAsRead” was added to the BE at the end of 2021 and a PR is currently in the works for the FE. This would be perfect timing. 😁

      I didn’t look at the code yet because I’m on my phone. I’m curious if it can hide site wide pins as well, which was specifically referenced.
