I saw him in Philadelphia in 2019 on his “Farewell” Tour. He has been doing farewell tours for years.

I think it is the hide read posts from feed. If you have posts that you have opened/upvoted this symbol will appear and you can hide them.

I personally do not like this new feature and turned it off in settings (hide posts in feed). I find the symbol flashing on and off to be very distracting.

I would prefer either options to:

1. Mark posts as read as you scroll whether opened or viewed (Apollo had that),

2. Option to swipe left and hide a post (Wefwef has this), or

3. option to swipe left and hide all posts above post whether I opened or voted or not (Apollo also had that)

Edit: would also be nice if we had an option under our profile to see posts that we have hidden id we need to see them again (WefWef and Apollo have this). I do prefer Memmy, but the way it works with hidden posts is a downside.

My experience with Kbin is that it seems more limited on Federated posts and that the smaller Kbin instance (I use Readit.buzz) seems to be lacking some of the posts and thumbnails that I see on Kbin.social. It seems like Lemmy works better on the smaller instances (not Lemmy.world) than Kbin does (not kbin.social).

I have not really used the Kbin microblog—I am using Mastodon for that.

I like being able to maximize space for viewing on my phone and find it irritating that Lemmy and Kbin sites don’t have light/dark modes.

I signed up in the last few days and still struggling with it. I would love the ability to add RSS feeds but haven’t figured out how to do that. For example, I use nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/homepage.xml to connect to the NY Times on my RSS Reader, but when I input it into “Find People” or “Add Contact” on my instance of Frendica it can’t find it. Any ideas? Using Venera.social.

Solution works for going to top of posts, but doesn’t work for going to the top of comments. If I want to scroll back up to see the original post after browsing comments, I need to scroll.

Weird, I see a picture on WefWef, but not on Memmy. Is it possibly because the picture is very large?

In my instance I see “show read posts”, which I had left unselected. It wasn’t working, and checking it doesn’t seem to hide them either.

Yes, that does do the trick! Thanks for the advice.

One on VLemmy.net, 3 on Kbin.

I wanted to get away using the main Kbin.social server, but am finding my accounts on smaller Kbin instances (Fedia.Io and Readit.buzz) have inferior content to Kbin.social. I will often find posts and image previews missing on smaller instances. I also hate how Kbin warns about missing content any time you Federated magazines.

Also, I got tired of waiting for an iPhone app for Kbin and have started using WefWef for Lemmy.

As a result, I am using VLemmy mostly for my browsing.

Been on Twitter (with Tweetbot) & Reddit (with Apollo) for 10+ years. I kept to my follow list and subreddits and really did not see a lot of the toxicity that everyone talks about. I think that is largely because 1) I was using third party apps and wasn’t getting any adds or suggested posts, and 2) I was mostly lurking and didn’t have a lot of posts or comments. I did find in Reddit that some comments would get harsh responses, but mostly I would get useful answers to questions.

Now using Mastodon and Lemmy/WefWef. Generally, like the experience with some issues with Lemmy in particular. Main issue right now: I hate having to scroll through read posts every time I open Lemmy or an app.
