It would be helpful, for those of us who have pictures load in our feed, to have the option to have those posts marked as read after voting.

This would eliminate the need to click on every picture to use other “marked as read” features.

    Voting on a post does mark it as read after you refresh.

    I made a post a while ago wishing it was the opposite, haha. On Reddit I would upvote newer text posts with few comments that I think have good potential for discussion, then when I scrolled past them on my feed again I’d take a look. I tried that here but all the posts were getting marked as read so they didn’t stand out.

        Maybe it depends on what view mode you’re in? After seeing your response, I refreshed my home page, up voted the first unread posts, refreshed again and they’re all marked read. I’m using the small cards with the buttons underneath the title.

          You were right. I was too sleep deprived to notice the subtle color change in the title, but I tried it with “dim on read” on, and it worked.

              It worked with my current view. I had just tried it on a gif that didn’t load the image, so only the title changed.

        I can confirm that this doesn’t work for me either. I’m using cards view.

        Would love for this to be fixed, this and read on scroll would help my doom scrolling massively!
