Seconded. The lack of hide here for individual posts is one of my biggest friction points in using Lemmy.

I was thinking the same about a hide feature. However, on reddit, it rarely worked for me. I mainly used their official mobile app; could be why.

Add my vote.

Voyager has the ability to hide individual posts by swipe gesture (by configuring it as a custom gesture).

Sync for Lemmy works this way. It's not free, but it is good, and IMO the dev is a fellow worth supporting after he got screwed by Reddit.

It’s in your settings… just uncheck the box.
