Is there a way to hide posts? I have slight arachnophobia and want to be able to hide posts when they contain spiders without having to block a community or a user.

    It used to be a lot worse but I basically underwent exposure therapy by working in a place where there were tons of spiders!

    But yes, as the other commenter stated, I would like to be able to hide it once I’ve already seen it, in order to prevent having to see it again.

      I tought hiding read posts was a feature of Lemmy itself. To be fair, I swapped to Connect from Jerboa after I suggested quality of life update UI, and tge response was rather hostile in my opinion. I mention that because in Connect, hiding posts and comments is bit too easy, as I tend to do that mostly by missclicks.

      That said, I’d imagine implementing a feature to hide post shouldn’t be too hard of a task to program in, I’d imagine.
