Just tried to hide a post (don't like pictures of spiders) and it didn't disappear. It just sits there (like a gross spider) and the only difference is if I click on the menu it now has Unhide as an option. Which also doesn't visibly change anything.

I've tried it a few times, closed and restarted the app. Doesn't seem to make any difference. I've used hide before (but not for a while) and it worked fine, not sure what's changed? Or is it just a glitch?

Edit: solved! Show Hidden Posts had been turned on, so it was working just as intended.

I saw your post, thought "huh, I've used hide before and it worked, maybe something did change". Then scrolled down to see the science memes post I'm assuming you were trying to hide, and hid it. It worked for me.

That's the one! Weird. Still not working for me, and I tried hiding some other posts, but none seem to work. It shows the post, but the menu now says unhide. Unless there's a setting I've toggles off to make all my hidden posts visible?

Do you hide a large number of things? Maybe you found a built in limit?

No, I've probably hid less than ten posts in the last year.

While in a feed, tap the three dots on the top toolbar and make sure "Show hidden" is unchecked.

Oh. My. The shame. You're exactly right. That's what it was. Don't remember turning it on, but since I'm apparently a dumbass, I would take my word for it. Thank you!

Could you edit your post and add a [solved] to the title, and maybe edit the post with the solution?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I have the same problem, I even made a post.

No answers.
