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?

Try changing your sort to new

"sort": that's the word for the options of "new", "scaled", "active" etc, right?
"New" does seem to improve things.
@Die4Ever pointed out there's a "Show Read Posts" option in the settings. I've unticked that and will see how it goes.

Thanks.

I honestly don't use this feature myself lol but I hope it helps you!
