Mark content as "Read"

[GuyDev1]

I know there's already an option to "hide" the content, though I assume the algorithm treats it like content I don't want to read. Whereas a "read" indication simply clears content that I've already read. so I can be exposed to new things.

makes sense?

Hi @GuyDev1,

Right now, the algorithm doesn't penalize "hide" events. We're working on downvoting, which should bring the penalization aspect.
But on the other hand, marked as read can indicate this article needs to be rewarded.
I'll discuss it internally, thanks a lot!

Sounds good, thanks!

Hi, I started using daily.dev yesterday. I like the tool - a bit like a HN on steroids. I have been reading tech news for a couple of years now and I would like to see a "already read" button to hide the content but still reward the algorithm.

@baggiponte if you hit the upvote button it will reward the algorithm and hide this post from your feed after several minutes

Is there any "Mark as Read" feature right now?
For me, I prefer "Mark as Read" rather than just "Hide", because the blog post that I have to "Hide", I may still need to read it again.

Sometimes I may not want to add upvote/downvote to the blog post because I feel neutral for that time.
So, I still need the "Mark as Read" feature.

Thank you. 🙏
