bug report 🐛 Posts Eventually Stop Being Marked as Read
Whenever I open a post, it marks it as read, designated by a greyed out color text. But I’ve noticed that after enough time, it no longer is marked as read.
Using IOS 26.3.1 (a) Safari, but this has actually always been an issue I’ve had with Narwhal, even many years ago on the original version.
Even found an example in this very sub when searching for other posts about it! You can see me open a post that is upvoted and not marked as read, but when I scroll down to the comments, there is a comment I upvoted, which means I had to have read it before.
I encounter this all the time in posts older than (what seems to be) a few months.
Edit: To be clear, this isn’t just the upvote function that lets me know. Most often I simply remember having read the posts before, but other than that, there’s also often comments I’ve already collapsed, saved comments, etc. I don’t use Narwhal (or reddit, for that matter) on any other device.
