Do any mobile apps have 'mark read once scrolled past posts' yet?

I've been a fan of Memmy for the most part, but post Apollo i've still been out of sorts with any platform. I really miss marking-read once you scroll past posts on my phone.

Apollo spoiled me for years with this feature and manually upvoting each one to hide gets old fast, as a viscious hider of content once i've seen it :)

Yes, Voyager.
- They renamed wefwef?
  Edit: They renamed wefwef.
- Voyager is ❤️
  
  I tried 3-4 different apps before landing on it. I’m not even a little bit tempted to try anything else. It’s almost obscene how quickly they managed to make an Apollo clone for Lemmy.
- Ohhh shit, so they do! Awesome, looks like its time to main Voyager.
- Voyager! Voyager! Voyager!
Yes, Connect For Lemmy had this.
- And on top of that you can also hide read posts! Loving connect so far!
  
  Connect dev here, glad you're liking it!
  Connect also now supports marking posts as read when viewing the image and also instance-level blocking.
For Android: fennec does this.
Spoilers: I'm this app's developer :)
- Fennec, the android browser app by Mozilla?
  
  No, fennec the android lemmy app by me. I wasn't aware of browser when I chose that name and so far no better ideas were suggested, so we're going by fennec rn
It’s a progressive web app instead of a native app, but Voyager just recently added this! You can check it out here: https://vger.app
- Voyager is incredible. Such a polished experience!
- this looks the same as wefwef.app lol
  
  They actually renamed wefwef to Voyager.
- Why doesn’t Voyager allow to log in to any Lemmy instance except for a select few?
  EDIT: Never mind, I had to do a few more taps to discover how to do it.
- Oh wait is the new name a star trek reference then? Noice.
Summit for Android has this as well. Source: I am the dev.
- Aw nice! I can increase the font size in title, post and comments! This is what I've been looking for!
  Will you add the capability to add our own fonts, or at least give a serif fonts option? Martel Regular is very easy to read for long periods of time Id take Bookman (I think that's one? Or any old serif fonts) Thanks for considering!longe
  
  I'll add custom fonts to the app roadmap. You can check out !summit@lemmy.world to see updates of the app and give feedback.
I'm using Jerboa and it does that. It's not perfect but it works, there's a setting to hide read posts.
- I'm using jerboq but it doesn't mark posts as read just by scrolling past them, you have to actually click on them. Just clicking the image thumbnail also doesn't mark as read.
I've looked at this for kbin, marking posts as 'read' once you've interacted with them before (either upvote, downvote or boosting) so that's way when you come back later in the day you can see things you've already interacted with.
It's one of those things that will probably take a while to get going
Not as far as I know. Lemmy API doesn’t support marking multiple posts at once, so there is currently no clean way. And no application does it locally. Yet at least.
- That's not true. There are both native and web apps that do this.
  
  Oh, okay. I’ve been told this directly by Memmy developer. So sorry about confusion.
  Edit: here it is git
