If it’s recent I can usually find it from my profile upvotes.
Worked for finding a comic I wanted to share in a relevant conversation days after upvoting it.
The setting to hide seen posts also hides them from search results.
What. Why. That makes no sense.
Hey you wanted to hide so we hid it. Forever.
I don’t understand why they don’t use the client side filter-variable in Lemmy UI. It has been available for a while now. It solves a whole bunch of problems. Summit implemented it a few versions ago and it works great. I can hide and unhide posts with the push of a button.
I use Summit and I don’t know the feature you’re referring to. Could you explain it?
I’ve used the instance name filter to block lemmy.world from my feed because it drowns out less popular/new comms, but it’s really annoying to have to go into the filter menu to add and delete the filter all the time because I don’t want it filtered permanently.
You can click the eye on top of a feed to switch between seeing and hiding read posts.
I never saw that before because I never tried hiding read posts. That’s good to know, thank you!
Yeah, I make good use of the Hidden Posts section in the profile page on Voyager, every time the feed refreshes for no good reason.
Literally happened to me a hour ago. Title was “tits or ass” and was a meme about personality disorder.
You mean this one? https://lemmy.ca/post/63033148
And so the cycle continues.

can’t be as bad as trying to find a reddit post
Nowadays, Google is just a reddit search anyway, so might as well use that.
But back in the day, reddit search was truly awful
It’s way worse, just give it a try.
With reddit you could at least use site:reddit.com and a normal search engine.
IIRC Reddit didn’t / doesn’t look for any one word in the prompt, the web interface of Lemmy does.
What’s even the point of that? More words in the prompt should narrow the search down, not widen it up!
Our supply vendor works like that. Looking for brown paper bags? Here’s every brown and paper item in the catalog, along with some plastic bags!
Reddit search is way better. It even has operators for the search, and things like flairs that you can search by.
