Does Lemmy protocol have read status? (programming.dev)

I only found the Connect app able to hide read topics, while Jerboa and Liftoff does not have this feature. Is read status built-in into Lemmy protocol?

From my understanding, Lemmy is software, while ActivityPub is the underlying protocol. Mastodon, Pixelfed and Kbin are other softwares running with the ActivityPub protocol.

Jerboa has the setting you request under Settings > [username] Settings > Hide Read Posts

That must mean ActivityPub tracks read status and provides it. Just look deeper in the settings.

Sorry, I don't know about Liftoff.

Thanks for pointing out the read settings on Jerboa, it works. And it affects on Liftoff too, those that I read on Jerboa won't appear on Liftoff anymore, but Liftoff does not make read status from within it app.
