It would be nice if the app automatically marks a post as read as soon as the user scrolls past it. Apollo had this feature.

    There is an option to mark as read when you vote. So if you swipe to the right, you mark as read.

      I guess I should say: marking as read without voting. It sounds like the solution would be to upvote everything I don’t particularly want to open, or downvote everything I don’t particularly want to open; which sounds quite counter-productive.

        Yes, I have the same issue. I usually just want to scroll brain afk and not interact with every single post.

          Yeah, and the problem is right now if you don’t want to interact with a post, but you run out of content to read for a given sorting order, unless you’ve opened it or voted on it, you’re kinda forced to re-interact with it after you refresh the list. Which is annoying enough that when I refresh and all I see is posts I intentionally left alone because they don’t interest me, I typically just close and go open another content app.
