Ignoring/Hiding Posts? (beehaw.org)

I'm struggling to curate my experience on Lemmy. Some posts constantly dominate my feed, even after resorting various ways.

Is there a way to ignore or hide posts? 🙏

I could be crazy, but it seems like pinned posts are pinned on my main feed just as as they are pinned within a community.

I do not necessarily wish to ignore entire communities in this case (which I know how to do). I am talking about individual posts.

Using the Jerboa app has helped because posts can be shown in a condensed form rather than the large cards. And yet still so much scrolling to see anything new...

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.

That's interesting, I have the opposite problem in that Jerboa doesn't seem to want to obey my global default sort, but I don't have any issues with the site forgetting it.

I do agree that it would be nice to have an option to hide posts. It looks like there is a similar feature request on the lemmy-ui repo but I don't know when they'll get around to it.
