How can I stop hidden posts from showing when I scroll up? (lemmy.world)

I like to browse for a bit while hiding and saving posts then refresh...but the posts I hid reappear when I scroll up which kind of defeats the purpose of hiding them.

I'm guessing this exists in case you accidentally hide something...but if that's the case, might I recommend a small "Undo" button that shows up for a couple seconds?

In case I'm doing a bad job communicating the issue, these are the steps to repeat:

Browse ALL or any high-volume feed
Hide 10-20 posts and scroll down past them
Scroll back up. The posts you hid are back

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

alternatively, this is how I had Joey set up and I really like this flow:

scrolling past a post marks it as viewed. options exist for "scrolling past = viewed" and "opened post = viewed".

a "hide viewed" button easily accessible from the feed (ie in a pop-up menu on a floating circular button in the bottom corner) lets me hide everything I have seen at once.

The problem I have with auto-hiding read is that sometimes I want to scroll back up to look at something again.

I much prefer manually hiding for the reason you described

Boost had an option to "hide precious posts" that I'd use all the time.
