Still displaying hidden or read posts

This has been going on for at least several months

Doesn't matter how many times I hide a post, mark as read, they still keep coming back on my main feed and it's driving me f'king bananas

edit: I should also mention I've gone through, in various iterations, all the basic troubleshooting things. I've cleared, logged/relogged, uninstalled, updated, joined/left the beta, blah blah. The issue always comes back

If you hide a post, it is marked as hidden on the server, and it should not appear again on your feed. Make sure that the option Show hidden in the top right overflow menu is unchecked.
If a post is marked as read, it is marked as read on the server, and it should not appear again if Show read posts is unchecked for your account in Settings - Account preferences. Make sure to save the settings with the button "Save" before leaving the screen.

Both options only work for logged in users.

Brother, your app is broken.

I've noticed that if I rotate my device, and then back, the feed contains posts that have been read. They show as read, faded, but are in the feed until I refresh. Then they go away. I don't know if that's related or not.

That's very interesting and I'm sure there's some kind of relation.

I know that boost'd aware that the posts have been hidden and read, because it greys them out... but ofc it still displays them

However, I never use landscape orientation, I'm locked to portrait 100% of the time

Oh my God it will. not. fucking. stop.

I can get a temporary reprieve from this Insanity by uninstalling and reinstalling but honestly, this is not sustainable

Please Dev please I have supported you for years, please fix this bug! It is making the app completely unusable. I am getting ready to abandon this app and go to a new one - I'm not kidding.

It is present on my Samsung s9+ with Android 10, and it is present on my Pixel 9 with Android 16. It has nothing to do with anything on my end. Please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
