The setting to hide seen posts also hides them from search results.

    I don't understand why they don't use the client side filter-variable in Lemmy UI. It has been available for a while now. It solves a whole bunch of problems. Summit implemented it a few versions ago and it works great. I can hide and unhide posts with the push of a button.

    I use Summit and I don't know the feature you're referring to. Could you explain it?

    I've used the instance name filter to block lemmy.world from my feed because it drowns out less popular/new comms, but it's really annoying to have to go into the filter menu to add and delete the filter all the time because I don't want it filtered permanently.

    You can click the eye on top of a feed to switch between seeing and hiding read posts.

    Yeah, I make good use of the Hidden Posts section in the profile page on Voyager, every time the feed refreshes for no good reason.

    Voyager is heavy on memory, it's killed by the system half of the times you want to use the browser for a minute. And doesn't remember where you were.

    Although it actually doesn't mark posts as read, afaik without regard to the profile setting. Because it hides the posts instead. So they should probably be visible in search.

    Literally happened to me a hour ago. Title was "tits or ass" and was a meme about personality disorder.

    Sometimes I feel like my Linux desktops are the last place is It where search isn't utterly broken.

    I can get by using Google for tech stuff just because of experience. I had to look up something for my car today, ended up rage quitting after the 50th irrelevant YouTube video result.

    I feel like moving to a cave and living off insects might be the way forward

    If it's recent I can usually find it from my profile upvotes.

    Worked for finding a comic I wanted to share in a relevant conversation days after upvoting it.

    can't be as bad as trying to find a reddit post

    IIRC Reddit didn't / doesn't look for any one word in the prompt, the web interface of Lemmy does.

    What's even the point of that? More words in the prompt should narrow the search down, not widen it up!
