Edit: Video: https://youtube.com/shorts/PH8j9iUiDRI I'll have to get myself on PeerTube, sorry.

Here is a feature request.

I really appreciate that Lemmy is finite and I can get to the end of my feed.

I have Boost set so that when I scroll past posts they are marked as read. But I can't scroll past the very last posts in my feed.

I wish that when I got to the bottom of my feed and kept scrolling the last posts went off the top of the screen, leaving me with an empty screen.

And I furthermore wish that if I kept scrolling past this point that it invoked the Clear Read function.

As it is, I scroll past all of my posts and then get to the last few. Then I have to manually click the last few as Read. And then I have to do a little bit more scrolling the opposite direction to get the little floating menu button to appear, and from there I can in two clicks choose Clear Read.

That's a lot of work to get rid of the last few items in my feed that already have negative scores so that they don't show up the next time I open Boost.

I just want to be able, in one smooth motion, to scroll to the end of the Internet and be done for a while.

So here's the problem I'm having with Octopi, and I'm not even sure of the right vocabulary to describe it.

I'm using the Outline icon pack, not that I think that matters here. But I'm trying to make an icon for the calendar that updates the date each day. I can see the icons 1 through 31 in several different icon styles, but if I choose today's date, Octopi doesn't update tomorrow.

Another way of stating this is that in the icon drawer itself, several other launchers show my Google calendar with today's date but Octopi shows the standard 31st.

What is this feature even called?

And am I right to assume that it's a feature that depends partly on the launcher?

    Octopi is my current leader.

    I'm not sure whether I will actually use this feature, but it's fascinating the way each icon can be resized to a different size.

    Also I note that it lets you set the number of columns, but not the number of rows. By setting the number of columns you set the grid size and then the number of rows is forced. But not entirely forced because if you show icon labels you're arranging rectangles and if you don't show icon labels you're arranging squares. And also not entirely forced because just because you said that there were seven full size icons across the screen doesn't mean you can't fit in 14 half-sized icons or one double wide double tall icon and five regulars.
