I realize it won’t be like this forever, but while scrolling Lemmy I eventually come to a point when I start to see a lot of old posts and it’s a perfect signal that I’ve done more than enough scrolling for the day

    Correct. But the additional feature is available on some clients. The additional feature is to mark posts as read when you merely scroll past them. That way I don’t have to keep scrolling past the same post every time I check Lemmy. I mean, I still scroll past the same link multiple times when different people have posted it to different instances, but I never see the exact same post twice.

      Oh interesting, only use desktop so I’m not on mobile so probably missing out on some cool features being developed by others.

      Do you feel the apps do a better job of representing a post on the main scroll feed nowadays? I always felt like it lacked context when you were just reading a small excerpt, but I can see something like that easily approved upon and updated.

      I do feel the same as the OP poster though, I honestly can’t even get past the first page if I actually click and read the comments and look into the information being presented. One post can completely sidetrack me for a day if people start making claims that are untrue and it’s a whole rabbit hole to get to the bottom of it.

          yeah that’s way better, thank you for the edit/image upload (glad I don’t click marked read as often as I should lol). That’s definitely a healthy extract lol. I’ll make sure to suggest boost in the future if someone’s looking for a mobile version.
