  • 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.










  • 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.
