How to avoid seeing the same posts over and over again? (lemmy.ca)

Newb here. In my main feed, I see some posts over and over again. I see a post, click "Next" and there it is again. And again on the next page, and a couple of others I've already seen too. And again on the next page. (Sometimes they are cross-posts to a different /c, but mostly not.)

It's annoying having to wade through post after post I've already seen.

What I've tried so far:

Set main feed to "New" rather than "Active" etc.
"Hide this post" when I see it for the third or fourth time

Are there other ways?

In your settings on the website there's a checkbox for "Show read posts", uncheck that. Some apps have the same feature or similar. Some apps also have an option to mark as read when you scroll past a post without opening it.

Thanks! I missed that. I've unticked it now and will see how it goes.
