[Feature Request] Mark posts as read when viewing the link

I think it'd be great if when I view the link of a post, whether it be an image or whatever, if that marked the post as read. Which would go great with the already existing feature to hide read posts.

Additionally, a button on the main view to see or hide read posts would be cool too but not as important.

Keep up the great work, I love the app!

Edit: it looks like there is already a setting "Mark post as read on image view" that I didn't see. So looks like that works. But it doesn't make the title of the post change from normal to "read" like it does when you click it

Uodate: In version 1.0.88, mark post read after viewing image/link is not working.

Agreed. The post is marked as read if you click into the post itself, but not if you just view the link/content directly from your feed. Maybe this could be a settable behavior.

I can confirm this mark post as read after viewing post image/link is not working in version 1.0.88.
