Hi there!

Is it possible you are browsing a community feed? I can't reproduce on home/all (it hides as expected).

Hi @aeharding, it is gone now, but it was not working for several days.

It was confirmed by other users as well here https://lemmy.world/post/20046439, but I guess there is nothing to do now. Thanks!

Actually, it only works locally. If I read a post on Lemmy UI on my computer, then it is shown in Voyager on iOS. The title is faded as read, but it's still visible until I open it locally in the app. It seems like Voyager uses its own local database for read posts?

This is also behaving strangely for me when compared to previous behavior. It used to be that if I had the option enabled on the instance, that Voyager would give me the same behavior. That is, all read or voted posts would be hidden.

It appears now that this is a separate option in the app that overrides this behavior but only works for read posts, not upvoted ones. So if I click through to the post, it will hide it, but for images which I can see without opening the post and just upvote from the main page, it won't hide those, I have to manually click the button to hide them to get them to go away, and even then they sometimes come back.

Can we get the option to auto hide also voted but not viewed items?
