Hide read posts only from the frontage. There should be an option to have them visible in their community itself to refer back later.

@ljdawson@lemmy.world my request is a bit different. I actually use Sync. When we hide posts from the frontpage using "Hide Read Posts" toggle, it hides the post from both the frontpage and the community where the post was posted. I'd like to have a setting where it only hides read posts from the frontpage.

Sometimes I like to go back to a community (like Starfield for e.g.) to read posts that I hid previously from frontpage to see newer discussions or just look back at things after a couple of days.

Oh I see. Kind of how this used to work with saved items on your profile on Reddit?

Umm, I'm not sure as I didn't use Sync for Reddit, if it was an app specific feature.

In the current Lemmy app if we hide read posts, they are kinda lost. I'd like to visit a community and even see the read posts that were hidden from the frontpage. It could be an option for the user to decide if they want the current method or let the hidden "read" posts be hidden only from the All/Subscribed/Local frontpage (and not from the community page itself)
