Maybe this is unpopular but I'm getting tired of opening lemmy and having to scroll past the same post that I have viewed already, half of the posts on the front page are 2 or 3 days old.

you are viewing a single comment's thread
view the rest of the comments

I am a bit split. I too find it a bit annoying to scroll past 80% of the posts. On the other hand, sometimes I see that there are new comments (which lemmy shows) under a post about an interesting topic.

Yeah this is why I haven't set that option that hides visited links...

I think the UI, instead of just bringing the posts up without explanation, should show you how many new comments the post received. It would be great for keeping tabs on a discussion, too.

The Reddit Enhancement Suite stores a cookie that remembers the number of comments when you visited a post. It's a killer feature.

A more modern UI example:

I would not have understood the meaning of the +4 had i not seen the old UI first.
