Took me a while to figure that one out! For some reason Lemmy hides your own posts too. My “solution” for this is to save each of my posts as it is posted, otherwise it disappears and I have no record of it unless someone comments or I unhide read posts.

Not hiding read posts is not an option for me— I don’t want to see the same stuff every time I look at Lemmy.

I’m waiting for 1) option to not hide my own posts and 2) mark read on scroll.

Self awareness

I hid read posts and found out that that includes my own posts. I kept wondering why my posts disappeared.

Seems like that is a Lemmy.world issue

Did you try “Traverse”? Odd name, but that is where I see my subscriptions.

Interesting point, maybe people with more gaming growing up prefer the dark mode. Much of the gaming era came around after my time!

I get the impression that the preference for dark mode tends to be more common in Millennial/Gen-Z men.

As an older Gen-X, I cannot stand having dark mode on during the day or light mode at night. I use auto whenever it is available. I don’t know why!

My daughter and her female friends do not have dark mode during the day. My younger coworkers often have dark mode at work, but only the male ones.

I’m curious about those who use dark mode all the time: were you born after 1980 and male?

It is hide read posts. You can turn it off by unchecking "Hide read Posts on Feed".

Maybe I’m missing some setting, but my read posts do not gray out. The only indication that a post is read is the book icon. I like it!

I turned off the hide read posts in feed option because the button was constantly blinking on and off and I can just hide posts with a refresh.

Edit: I think it only grays out in compact mode. Maybe it should have an option to remove the book in compact mode.

I would also like to see options to hide all posts above and to view hidden posts. I was used to those in Apollo.

Isn’t that a snail?

Did you try selecting / unselecting the “Compact Post” option on the Appearance settings?

R.I.P. Vlemmy. Now I have another Lemmy account.

I haven’t figured out an effective way. Was running all of the subscriptions through an Excel pivot table, but I am sure someone with programming could do it a better way!

I had just copied the text from the list on the Kbin subscribed list. To be honest, it worked slightly better than doing the same for Lemmy.

Was pretty painful to recreate my account on Lemm.ee, but I think that I have it mostly recreated. I am wondering if there is some way to automatically download a full list of subscriptions so that I can either sync up a backup account or at least have a file that I can import with a new account in case Lemm.ee blows up.

Fortunately, I had manually exported the list to sync it up with my Kbin accounts about a week and half ago, so I did have some of them tracked. Exporting into Excel was not easy!

Another user here that had set up VLemmy as primary instance. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to back up subscriptions and how to do due diligence on an instance to make sure that it is more credible/stable?

I have relaunched on Lemm.ee, and want to make sure that I am prepared for this happening again!
