I’ve heard many people saying that the front-end looks old and needs more work, but I’ve never heard someone describe how it could look better. To me, it looks perfectly fine. I wish it had a card layout similar to libreddit, but aside from that, I think it’s nice. If people want a completely different look, then there’s lemmyBB, and there will probably be other front-ends in the future. However, we should hear opinions about which styles people want.
I am really missing a way to hide posts/threads I have already read and am not interested in further updates. I am scrolling past the same few popular posts until I reach the newer posts that are still gaining popularity. Only option is to sort by new, which might be difficult when more posts hit the service.
You should be able to uncheck “Show Read” here in your user settings:
Then you’ll hide any post that I believe you comment on or upvote/downvote, I think? I’m not sure how it counts something as being “read,” that could use some work/clarification. There are times where I feel neutral about a post and don’t want to upvote or downvote (or I see something I dislike on Beehaw, which explicitly disallows downvotes).
For me, it hides every post I clicked on, even when I haven’t voted or commented
It should, clicking into a post is what it counts as reading it. Voting or commenting is a separate action.
