noticed that posts on my local instance that i can see in the web browser arent getting loaded by the app for some reason. this was easy to tell for low-traffic communities where i could account for every post

That was it! So does mlem just count posts you’ve replied or reacted to as read? Or are there some other criteria? I would maybe want some indication that there are hidden posts available to unhide.
edit: also saw the “mark read on scroll”
A post is marked as read when you open, upvote, downvote, save, or reply to it. If you enable “mark read on scroll” it’ll mark posts as read when you scroll past them. Posts that are marked as read will have a slightly dimmer title text.
Yeah, this is something we’d like to do. “Hide read” is enabled has proven to be a very common cause of confusion; we need to make it more obvious somehow.
thanks! i think its a good feature, i was just oblivious to it.
Should this show up somewhere as an app-wide setting instead of only as a per-community view tweak?
It is app-wide at the moment - if you enable “Hide Read” from a certain community, it is enabled in all communities. The button is available from the feed, rather than from settings, because it is an option that users may want to toggle on the fly. We also have the “post size” and “blur NSFW” settings available from the feed for the same reason.
In future, we’d like to make community sorting and filtering options (incl. hide read) saved per-community for ease of use, or at least the option for it to work that way. Issue here
Aha, I took the incorrect assumption that all app-wide settings would show up under the settings menu.
Thanks for letting us know, we’ll look into it. I’ve created an issue here to keep track of this.
