Feature or improvement you want

The filters for "Unread", "Saved", "Recently read", and "Read" should be changed per-feed. When you change these settings for one feed, it should not be changed globally for all feeds.

Why should this be added?

This is a simple usability improvement, since you may not want read articles showing up in the "All feeds" feed, but want them in another feed, for example.

Must say I don't agree. I think it would be confusing if the filter changed as you switched feeds

There can simply be a toggle in settings to enable or disable the functionality

"Simple". It may sound like that but every setting means added complexity and makes the app harder to use too

Sure, but then why have any customization at all? Simply put it, people have different use cases and preferences, that's why customization settings exist.

@An-anonymous-coder Can you describe your workflow of using this feature? It will be good to have this but i really can't find any scenario in which one can use this. We have Recently-read filter which dosen't hide feeds until a session is over.

I use Feeder to view recent posts from various Lemmy communities. I like to use the "All feeds" page to catch up on posts, but like to browse previous posts for each community by selecting those feeds specifically. In this case, "All feeds" should have posts disappear on read, but should still be visible when browsing the feeds for each community. It removes the extra annoyance of switching the toggle each time.

From here https://github.com/spacecowboy/Feeder/issues/373#issuecomment-2407581720, how about this --> When a feed of a feed/tag are completed, the app will let user scroll till the screen clears. Now that screen clears and this will show up -->

The suggestion I gave is fine, there doesn't need to be a roundabout solution.
