A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It was like that because of a deliberate design choice that enjoyed widespread support
What design choice exactly? You can always fork it if you want to.
Edit: I just tried and the hidden posts all seem to stay hidden even after restarting the app. What exactly are you missing / is your problem?
Infinity was originally a Reddit app that has been forked. This came up more than once:
"This is intended".
Maybe that's different now, but normal people don't pay attention to feature upgrades on open source projects that they don't use, and the fact that this was intended behavior led me to believe there was no particular reason it would ever change, especially since it still hadn't when I last used the app some time after the dev commented in the second screenshot.
I know that it is a fork of a Reddit app, I'm saying you can make your own fork and implement features you think are better that you know aren't going to be part of the main project. That's the beauty of FOSS. You are also conflating two different issues here. The first example is about using multiple devices. What that person wants is that they hide the submissions not just locally but through Reddit on the account level, so that they would be hidden even on other devices (like the desktop or for some reason a second mobile device). The second issue is something I just tested in between my comment and the edit and I did not see the postings that were hidden even after restart & refreshing. It's also something they didn't say is impossible or would be unintended, but rather said that it is indeed possible.
Is this a studied effort to miss my point, or are you just like this?
You're the one who missed my point, so your reply is as empty as it is ironic.
The fact that you're able to think that is all I need to hear, you're officially beyond my power to help. Good luck, you're going to need it.
Yeah, yeah. Stop projecting. Thank you.
