    I was wondering about this on WefWef. Is scrolling by the same posts a few times a sorting problem or a “there hasn’t been any new posts yet” problem?

      Most of the reddit apps I’ve tried have a “hide seen” function that I feel like wefwef could really benefit from

        I saw that function posted elsewhere, but I assume it’s from a desktop interface because I can’t see it in the app

          Desktop or mobile browser, yes. In your account settings there’s an option to “Show read posts”. Uncheck it and you shouldn’t see posts you’ve voted on on your front page anymore.

      I’m pretty sure it’s related to how the default sorting algorithm works, the default sort typically being Active. If the description in the docs is still accurate, I think maybe there’s something a little off in the decay time*, making it so posts linger, people keep commenting & conversing in comments, which keeps posts propped up, until finally at some point activity subsides enough for it to allow other posts to show up.

      *-(possibly taking too long to take effect or not being weighted heavily enough?)
