Ability to "mark as read" on private friends page #399

Open jeffpaul opened 4 days ago

I'm not certain if this is the concept of the "collapse" function on my private friends page, but I'm looking for some sort of "mark as read" function (regardless of whether I've reblogged, boosted, reacted, or commented on a post) wherein it gets removed from my private friends page. This way I can effectively read through and process all the posts from my friends leveraging this as a friend-based feed reader of sorts.

Currently there is no concept of read or unread. It might be interesting to implement this alongside https://github.com/akirk/enable-mastodon-apps/issues/186. I think it could be done with a setting that reads a common setting between EMA and Friends and an option in settings whether all posts beyond this should be considered as read. What do you think?

I'm mostly viewing the private Friends page as a feed reader experience, whether that's experienced within a Mastodon theme or amongst other posts from Mastodon is of lesser importance. I think if there was a way for my site to act as a node in the fediverse with a page where I could catch up on connections postings to Mastodon PLUS all my Friends subscriptions that might be a nice experience as a single place to consume the online content I'm most interested in. Noting I'd probably also was Bluesky considered there alongside Mastodon as well, at least until one of those two settles out as the primary social network for folks leaving X.
