Feature request: hide downvoted posts

This downvote proposal is good, but some instances don't have them enabled.

Just the option to hide post, without necessarily interacting with it, would be great.

e.g.: On the options that pop up from the three dots, to have 'Hide' 'Block' and 'Report'

i believe the general attitude on the threadiverse is that down votes are not a great option: they should represent low quality or untruth rather than simply dislike. given this preference, and downvote to hide might overload the downvote function: no longer is it a last resort, but it’s a normal part of browsing your feed. i’ve seen nothing but staunch opposition to overusing h the down vote feature in this manner

FYI, if you go to "Account Settings" and uncheck "Show Read Posts", this should automatically hide all posts that you open, up vote, or down vote.

I understand and agree though that having the ability to split that into separate options would be nice. But this might help you until they possibly add that option later. This is also tied to your account and not just the app, which is nice if you use Lemmy from multiple devices.

Currently though, I and several others are having issues where the last update appears to have broken that feature. I'm not sure if the issue is instance specific, (lemm.ee) or more broad.

So you want no one to see the opinion you don't like got it . Never crossed your mind that other people may like the opinions you don't . Lol what a narc.

I had downvoted them. It made it easy to hide things which I didn't want to see or felt shouldn't be seen

That's a lot of "I "s my fellow human or should i say "our lord and savior , supreme being ,better than all ,lord of the humans or whatever" maybe turn down your main character trip a little.

I don't quite see the point of this — unless you refresh Lemmy homepage very often, you should see a new set of posts each time you visit regardless. Hiding the downvoted posts would only work when going to a particular community
