I’m sorry, I misspoke and I’m going to edit my original comment.
The terminology here is “mark as read” and you’ll find the various settings in the general settings panel.
You can have it automatically hide things you’ve “read” and manually by doing the hold-and-tap.
The more reproductive health care becomes unavailable, the less sex men will get.
Hold on a card to bring up the menu then tap hide. Might have to enable this in settings.
Edit, I misspoke. I was talking about the old “hide” feature from Reddit. It works a little different here, and you can mark posts as being “read” or you can have Boost track and automatically hide them. The various settings are in the general settings panel.
Why can’t you vote? Is it because you are a felon?
Just a tip of the hat and thank you for your work.
Yes I was advised in the removal notice that it had been removed by the Reddit Administrators so that they could keep Reddit “safe”.
I guess their idea of “safe” isn’t 4+ million users going into their privacy panel and turning off exploitative sub recommendations.
Idk though I’m just a humble bird lawyer.
I just would like to show something about Reddit. Below is a post I made about how Reddit was literally harassing and specifically targeting me, after I let slip in a comment one day that I was sober - I had previously never made such a comment because my sobriety journey was personal, and I never wanted to define myself or pigeonhole myself as a “recovering person”.
I reported the recommended subs and ads to Reddit Admins multiple times and was told there was nothing they could do about it.
I posted a screenshot to DangerousDesign and it flew up to like 5K+ votes in like 30 minutes before admins removed it. I later reposted it to AssholeDesign where it nestled into 2K+ votes before shadow-vanishing.
Yes, Reddit and similar are definitely responsible for a lot of suffering and pain at the expense of humans in the pursuit of profit. After it blew up and front-paged, “magically” my home page didn’t have booze related ads/subs/recs any more! What a totally mystery how that happened /s
The post in question, and a perfect “outing” of how Reddit continually tracks and tailors the User Experience specifically to exploit human frailty for their own gains.
I quit drinking years ago and I reported every (e alcohol) ad explaining that I am no longer their target market and the ads are literally dangerous to me. They were gone within a few weeks - haven’t seen a booze ad in 5+ years.
AI told me 75C/170F is ideal for hot tub water temperature.
Sure no problem. Once I get used to that I’ll work my way up to boiling peanut oil.
It’s been like one of those long running soap operas.
For at least the last 5 years “today’s” front page is nearly indistinguishable from “yesterday’s”.
You can disappear for 6 months and come back and it’s exactly the same. You’ve missed nothing.
Orange man bad, fascism bad, phobia bad, sexism bad, racism bad, bosses suck, inflation sucks, boomers suck, ooh a celebrity! Celebrity dead so sad.
The magical time where OSX “barely had any viruses and malware” never existed.

Poll favors Trump = Polls are inaccurate; they only survey boomers at home that still answer unknown numbers from their landline!
Poll favors Biden = Polls are very accurate.
Oh there’s lots I have to set the record straight about and there’s lots I could talk about, but without being asked a specific question that would just leave me to write an open-ended essay and I’m not up for it right now
That whole “niche communities” thing never rang true for me. I mean sure, if you like cast iron you can go to the cast iron community. And see 9000 pictures of cast iron pans and people freaking out about cast iron. Or cooking… and you have to listen to THOUSANDS of recommendations for air fryers but not cooking.
The “communities” system never worked from the word go. The site content should have been organized with weighted tags. As I find few things more nauseating than “collective intelligence” which is mostly wrong, ill-conceived, closed-minded and half-baked at best.
I’m on board with your main point. I supposed I’m still left wondering why people go to a place that gives them the exact same thing every day without variation. Wait… yeah… that’s actually the appeal. It is just like fast food: sweet, salty, fatty, devoid of nutrition, and always predictable.
Yes, but why?
Looking at what reddit was and what Reddit is now, I genuinely can’t imagine why anybody goes there anymore. The odd time I do some nice doomscrolling, I find that >99% of the content is re-heated and re-served. Nothing there informs me anymore. Nothing there inspires me. Nothing makes me think in a new way.
Every day the same thing ad nausea. Fascism bad. Sexism bad. Phobia bad. Musk bad. Orange man bad. Inflation bad. Boomers bad. Cats good. Name my rescue dog. Celebrity good. Celebrity dead.
That site should be renamed Reggurgitatit.
Certainly, I’m always happy to share with inquisitive minds.
Is there any particular question you’d like me to address?
I spent 20 years as a producer, developer, and project manager in the lottery and games industry.
Trying to explain how lottery and games work to people and have them hear me makes me want to cry.
You literally just changed my life by making me aware of this font, thank you
