Is there a way to show read posts when visiting an instance directly but hide them when you view your main feeds? (sopuli.xyz)

When I'm scrolling through my main subscribed feeds or all, Id like to be able to hide posts Ive read/voted on so I don't see the same posts for days at a time, but still be able to visit an instance directly and see all posts made there. In smaller communities, hiding read posts can turn that instance into a ghost town. Its also nice to go back and read new comments on posts your interested in and hiding read posts makes that difficult. Right now it seems like its hide everything everywhere or not and no in between.

Edit- after creating this post I went to view my profile and didn't see it there. Turns out hiding read posts, also hides your own posts? Am I missing something here?

Not that I'm aware of. Not in the web-ui, Jerboa, or Liftoff anyway. The way hiding posts works now is pretty silly though. It's frequently critiqued and I'd expect it to change over time, though I haven't seen a complete proposal for how it should work.

Thats disappointing. Hopefully that will change soon but until then, I guess I won't hide anything.

That was my solution. And it's not so bad if you mostly browse by new, since your votes naturally show you when you're back in previously viewed territory.

But it is annoying in more dynamic sort-orders, and sorting by new is a pretty different experience to other sorts. Posts are much emptier and you kind of feeling like your talking directly to OP rather than participating in a group discussion.
