My thoughts on show/hide "read" is that I don't necessarily want to hide all that i've read, not do I want to read all that I want to hide. I might want to keep some "read" ones on the feed in the event they get new posts.

ah sorry, I was just going off the list in the OP. I'm fairly new here. (ah, i see "on lemmy itself," I'm not totally clear on how that works but that makes sense.)

I would like the ability to hide posts, that way I don't keep seeing posts I've already viewed or not interested in.
