This was a feature that I fell in love with on Boost. I like to sort by top day and do short quick bursts of scrolling through the feed, so it helped a lot.
I’m not even sure if it’s possible on lemmy, or if anyone else feels they’d get use from it as well.
Jerboa doesn’t even mark messages as read when you open them :P
It does it you reply though, so I guess we really want you to engage with the platform. ;)
