  • I have no idea that there was such thing as a sitewide pin post. That’s not something I normally see and it would explain why some posts simply won’t ever ever go away.

    Did I mention that I really wish I could ignore / hide posts? 😁

    Until I have a subscription feed that I can curate with enough content, I’m relying on viewing all posts. Jerboa seems to obey top 24 hours for me, which is good.

    I would like to sort by activity, but unless I can ignore or hide posts, some things (e.g. the site pins) never go away and that drives me nuts.

    Also strange is that when I set my default filter in the Lemmy / beehaw settings, the front page doesn’t obey. This is only a problem on the mobile browser though since Jerboa seems to have an override that remains set.


  • I’m glad to know that I’m not insane. I was actually getting pretty frustrated thinking that I just wasn’t able to understand something basic.

    This comment sheds light on the types of pinned posts. I didn’t realize there was a sight wide pin capability. I think this has been the biggest source of my madness.

    I don’t have a fancy phone with huge resolution and DPI. I really really really really really really really really really really really wish I could hide/ignore posts

    Regarding your searches, it wasn’t immediately obvious to me via the mobile browser interface, but you should be able to search here: https://beehaw.org/search

    Unfortunately, if you’re using the Jerboa app, I don’t see the post search capability yet.








  • It’s stuff like this that makes me almost want to start contributioning code. It would be a pretty quick fix, imo, to default visible and allow long press for hiding. But alas, after developing software all day everyday, I don’t tend to have the brain cells left to invest into side projects. Not to mention family and responsibilities and all that adulting, humaning stuff.
