UX issue when mark with mark as read on open

When using this condensed view and having posts darkened on open the image darkened when the image is expanded also.

It's not a big issue, I can still read shitposts clearly but it'd be nice to have it not darkened as soon as the image is expanded.

This is a setting that is configurable. Settings > Posts feed > Post appearance > Dim read posts.

Yeah, I like that setting so much that I read all my posts dimmed.

The thing is I can never see an image in the feed without it being dimmed since it's read as soon as I expand the post.

So I'm thinking marking things as read when it's scrolled out of view is better and also after unexpanding.
