I guess it does look a bit cramped in compact mode. I personally love it otherwise because it shows up all by its lonesome on the top right corner.
Maybe an option to disable it or not have it in compact mode since stuff is already greyed out and easier to see as read when compact?
Yeah, like I said the Lemmy setting is ridiculously generous with what it considers read and how it hides things. Best way to circumvent this is just to use an app that’s has the option to hide read posts in-app and doesn’t use the Lemmy settings. I think Voyager (formerly wefwef) does it, maybe Memmy? Not sure about the Android applications. Connect probably
