For the longest time I was wondering what this icon is about. It seems kind of redundant because posts that I read before are already greyed out. Does the icon serve another purpose because I feel like it clutters the interface. Could we get rid of it?
Or turn it into a “mark this post read” function?
Just labeling the things I’ve read before isn’t that helpful. But I’d love to have a button for “don’t show me this again.”
Maybe I’m missing some setting, but my read posts do not gray out. The only indication that a post is read is the book icon. I like it!
I turned off the hide read posts in feed option because the button was constantly blinking on and off and I can just hide posts with a refresh.
Edit: I think it only grays out in compact mode. Maybe it should have an option to remove the book in compact mode.
Text should not be greyed out in the next build i believe. Though i can’t remember if i changed that or just thought about changing it. Our thought with the icon being accented like that is so you can quickly glance at it and see it and be like “oh i read this already”.
Edit: no i must’ve forgotten to change the greying out. Prob will do that today.
I don’t think it’s useful to put an eyecatcher to a post you already read, which this icon is. I prefer that they fade to the background because they’re less important.
That is actually a default thing on lemmy itself. Don’t know if gdk can remove/block it from showing but I agree it is kind of redundant
Don’t read any posts. Problem solved.
