Hey I’m a newbie here, just came from Reddit within the past couple days. In the spirit of helping make this place the best it can be, I wanted to share a couple things that could be polished.
-When I’m looking at the main feed and click to expand an image/meme, it will randomly close and shuffle down the page. It seems like it happens when a new post loads at the top of the feed.
-I made my first post and then later wanted to check on it, but was dismayed to find it had disappeared from the community and my profile! I thought maybe a mod had deleted it, so I found the mod log and looked for a reference to it there. It turns out the “Show Read Posts” user setting was the culprit. It is unexpected to me that it would hide my own posts as well, especially from my profile. Otherwise I can’t easily monitor my posts, reply to comments, etc, without going back into settings and turning it off.
System: Mac, Safari 15.4.
Feed settings: Posts | All | Hot.
User settings: Unchecked both “Show NSFW” and “Show Read Posts”
For number 2, go to your profile at https://sh.itjust.works/u/broptimist, or click your name on the top-right and then go to “Profile”
I think there’s a misunderstanding. I have no problem accessing my profile, but the posts I’ve made don’t show up there. You can try it yourself. Click your name on the top right, go to Settings, scroll down and uncheck “Show Read Posts” and click save. Now go back to your profile and your posts will be invisible to you while logged in.
That’s really surprising. I would expect profile pages to ignore hiding of read posts. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for validating my concern haha. I feel less crazy now
Just tried it myself. I’ll open a Github issue about it.
EDIT: There’s actually already an issue open about it. Looks like it was an oversight when implementing the new “Show Read Posts” toggle feature.
Nice, good to know. I’ll check the GitHub issues in the future
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
