[Feature Request] A way to hide posts #20

Closed RonSijm closed 1 year ago

Hey there! I discovered the mlmym.org site and really like it!

I was wondering if it would be possible to add a hide button like on reddit?

The default way on Lemmy is already a bit annoying: you have to disable "Show Read Posts" in your profile, but then using the UI, just expending an image post doesn't count as "reading it" - so if I want to hide a post I have to open it in a new tab so it becomes read... (which would cause an API call to "Get Comments" and other stuff that causes unnecessary load)

I pretty much used reddit as a message queue, and just either hide or up/downvoted everything I already saw, which would make the post not visible anymore.

So I was curious if you could add something like that:

I don't know how much of that is possible on the Lemmy API, I was thinking otherwise a solution would be something like keeping a "read" state on the client side, and just hide them there
