It’s strange and unintuitive that my own submitted posts are hidden with this basic feature. Given the slow pace on some communities as Lemmy grows, it gets really repetitive without the ability to filter out read posts. On the other side though, the ability to review my posts and check back on them seems pretty basic as a feature.

Is there a deliberate reason Lemmy functions like this?

    Because nobody has written the code to make it “not function like that”.

    Are you submitting posts without reading them first? If not, what’s the issue?

      When you submit a post, often it’s to have a discussion you’d like to follow, advice or info to gain from others, etc. Lemmy marks these as read since you’ve obviously seen them to create them, even for your own posts, so they don’t show up under “posts” on your own profile. Having ones own profile be blank of posts because you’d like to have fresh content everywhere else seems like a miss.

        I think the issue here is

        they don’t show up under “posts” on your own profile

        It makes sense to hide read posts on the main feed, but not when you’re looking at a particular user?

          Yes, it makes sense to hide posts in any community or all, but not one’s own posts or own profile.

        Don’t you get reply notifications? I get reply notifications.

        I also don’t check “hide read”, though, so we’re clearly using the platform differently.

          Reply notifications serve the immediate purpose to take you back to the thread if you want, but having a personal post history that is blank because I prefer fresh content in communities is strange to me especially in a nacent project with limited content on many communities.
