delete posts? Do you mean maybe hiding read posts/marking posts as read when you scroll? I recall a reddit app had this sort of functionality

Sorry, yes. For example with Feedly you can set your feed to never show the same post twice

I remember doing this on Reddit Sync years ago by combining this option,

Settings shortcut: History > Mark posts as read on scroll

With something like this option,

Settings shortcut: General > FAB action

Set the FAB to hide read posts. The main difference to how I had it working in the past is that with this, you must use the floating action button to periodically purge this content, where as I'm sure I had it working automatically before.

Yeah I was hoping there was a way to do so automatically, like with feedly

I saw you posted this in another app's comments. I know Connect does 'scrolling past post marks as read', and also has 'hide read posts'. Not sure if that might be up your alley.
