Is there any way to mark a post as "read" simply by scrolling over it instead of clicking on it? (lemm.ee)

I see lots of app recommendations, but is there any way to do this on desktop? I really don't want to have to click on each post, but I'm tired of getting the same stuff over and over again.

Voyager is available as a PWA

Is there an app that can do this?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Voyager does that.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Thunder too

Found it! Thanks! 🙏🏼

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Nice! Glad you found it :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

That's the one I'm using but I can't get the result I'm looking for... :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I would love that ...going to try voyager.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What specific feature is this? Do you all mean how a post you’ve read is a darker color when you go back, or are there different scrolling gestures options? (Not the swiping ones)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Settings -> General > Posts section > Mark Read / Hiding Posts > Mark Read on Scroll

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Brand new option I was unaware of. Thank you!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Boost can do that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

mlem can do this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Summit, Voyager, Boost, Thunder, Eternity, Connect etc.

Actually this feature is a requirement to me (as well as a button/shortcut to hid said read posts) so if a Lemmy client does not have it I just won't use it (reason number 1 why I stopped using Sync for Lemmy, it has been broken for months now).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

This is a feature available on most apps for Lemmy I've tried.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Eternity can do this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Boost for Lemmy does this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Another option if you want: Sync for Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sync is broken in this regard, it doesn't permanently hide posts anymore.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

My bad. Didn't know that. I have been using Thunder and Interstellar more than Sync.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Only if you have a very old Lemmy instance.
