The recent change today that makes hidden posts permanent after a page refresh instead of temporary has seriously bugged the way I browse Lemmy.

Now if I have too many posts hidden, my front page won't even load. I'd really prefer the choice to hide posts I've seen/scrolled past. Can we at least get a toggle to enable the old functionality?

Yes, a quick way to unhide would be really nice. What also would be nice is a quick way to see at a glance that there is stuff that you have hidden here or something like that.

Really the issue is that when all posts are hidden, Sync doesn't try to load more.

I switched my Lemmy settings to "hide on read" but it broke Sync because Sync would refuse to fetch posts if I had already seen everything on the first 2-3 pages. I had to flip that setting back off on Lemmy's end in order to get it to load things.

I'd like that as well, there isn't enough content on lemmy to permanently hide posts but I like being able to temporarily hide them so I can see what's new

I find that it's precisely because there isn't enough content that after I've viewed and interacted - hell even after I've seen the same post 14 times, it goes bye bye. And I don't want to see it again on page refresh.

This is why a toggle is best.

Probably best, seems like there's an equal amount of those who like both methods.
