[‘Distracted Boyfriend’ - A stock photo image of a man walking side by side with a woman in a blue shirt, holding hands, as a different woman in a red shirt walks past. The man appears to be whistling at the woman walking past, showing clear interest in her looks, while the woman he is walking with looks at him. The face of the woman next to him is replaced by the app icon for the app “Apollo for Reddit”, while the woman he is looking at has her face replaced by the app icon for “Memmy for Lemmy”]

On PC at least, go to your account settings and you can toggle ‘Show read posts’. Untick this, and anything upvoted or looked at (looked at the comments, aka opened up) Will go away upon refresh.
This behaviour will carry over to the apps on refresh. It’s quite aggressive though, so if you comment on something and want to check back on the activity you better bookmark it. But if you’re like me , you only mostly care about replies to your comment :P
Yeah I’m a chronic post hider, so I neeeeeed it lol. Thankfully looking at images (by expanding them) also counts so it cuts down on upvoting/looking at comments. It’ll get there soon enough.
Apollo is more like the wife who was murdered by Reddit, now watching you from heaven, hoping that you find a new social media platform to make you happy.
I don't think that anyone can say at this point which is the right app, because pretty much all of them came into existence extremely recently. We don't know where development will go or what features will be supported or anything.
Like, nobody has any extensive experience. Everyone is wading in for the first time. Hell, the app developers are too. No way of knowing what the situation will look like in six months.
Edit: Connect was my favorite until i realized its absolutely riddled with trackers. RIP. Currently trying Wefwef but ill probably come back to Jerboa.
Which Reddit client are you coming from? Which Lemmy app are you enjoying the most right now? I’m an Android user coming from RIF. So far I have the most experience with Wefwef and Jerboa, and Wefwef is winning by leaps and bounds. I haven’t tried too much of the rest, but I’m curious of your opinion on them if you’ve tried them all!
Ah, so some websites and apps will employ methods of data collection to learn things about you and then either use that information to feed you ads or sell it to other companies (or both). A lot of us prefer to keep what we can private and not be tracked so thoroughly.
Companies will build profiles on you that learn your likes, dislikes, political leanings, relationship status, gender, race, health issues, etc etc.
Even if some people are fine with being tracked another issue is that many companies have poor security and your data can be stolen in breaches by bad actors or sold to bad actors.
Highly recommend checking out wefwef - closest option to an Apollo clone as I’ve seen so far in terms of UI and functionality, and doesn’t even need to be installed. Memmy is a very good second place option, but I’ve been using wefwef since I heard about it yesterday and ZI think it’s better.
I started with Mlem and wasn’t a huge fan and was primarily using Memmy. But I decided to try mlem again as it’s been a while and it looks much better! Might be my new daily driver. I’ll give wefwef a try too.
