Hidden posts come back to my feed once I refresh.

When I hide posts in my feed I was expecting to not see them again (as it worked in RIF), but I do see them again if I refresh my feed.

I was a RIF user in Reddit, never used Sync before, so maybe this is working as intended. I hope it is a bug as for me hiding posts should prevent the post to appear again in my feed.

This is also happening for me.

Yeah agree this is annoying. I don't use hide very often, even if that was stored client side as a list of hidden posts I wouldn't mind.

I actually don't hate it working like this, funny enough. I want to come back to threads I've read before sometimes if the discussion in the comments keeps going, so with it working this way I can use it as a sort of toggle. Long press the FAB to hide, refresh to show.

In sync for reddit you could look at your hidden posts. I prefer to have hidden messages stay hidden. But hey to each their own :)

I believe that was a reddit function at it's core

I agree that this is quite annoying

You mean hiding the post or making them as read?

I know the latter is completely client side, and it used to have like a workaround in Reddit to move it to their server side hidden section.

I mean hiding, not marking as read.

I hide posts in my feed by swiping them to the left. When I refresh they all come back.

Are you sure they're the same post? I've noticed people here aren't happy posting to just one community/mag, oh no. At least two is very common, and three still happens a lot.

Yes, same posts.

Use the lemmy setting to not show read posts, I think it's a bug that hidden posts come back.

I actually do want read posts to come back, I just don't want hidden posts to come back.

Thanks for your advice anyway.
