I know this isn’t the best community for this topic but Lemmy doesn’t have anything more specific (yet). I want to know what’s going on that I have this setting in FreshRSS:
And this behavior:
Something tells me it isn’t a bug, just going over my head. I’m still new to selfhosting so it’s not all clear to me how it works yet.
That would be unfortunate if true. Honestly, if I could I would do away with the “read/unread” concept altogether. Are there really people out there who want to read absolutely everything in their feeds?
Pretty sure there are, or just skim it, but definitely at the end use the “i have seen these” button. (Also, if an entry is already marked as read, but it gets updated in the feed it will pop up as unread!)
You probably need the “Mark an article as read… upon receiving the article” among the reading options to achieve what you want.
I had not noticed that option! Thank you so much. It did not solve the problem in my original post but it’s still very helpful.
Cool, did you install freshrss as a docker container, or as a package? I’ve also had issues with it not setting up crons and running them properly before too. Running the docker container helps, usually.
I use Reeder on iOS and if I get to the bottom of a list, I get an option to mark everything as read.
But personally, I go through the articles kind of like videos on TikTok and read only those that sound interesting.
