"Hide read posts" not working, what am I doing wrong? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Since about three days ago, I keep seeing read posts on my feeds (local, all, etc)

I have disabled the switch to show read posts. I have also tapped the button that hides read posts. The posts appear as read, with a different font color in their title. But they are just not hidden.

I have checked the GitHub issue tracker and this community and have found no other person raising this issue. Therefore I assume I must be doing something wrong. But what? I have not touched my settings basically since I installed voyager. Did a recent update break the “hide read posts” behavior?

Voyager tracks your eye movement through the camera, and only hides the posts that you've actually read. Thoroughly.

Or it's a bit buggy. I don't remember which of the two.

Sometimes it’s a little buggy for me

Answering to myself in case somebody searches for this issue later: it is indeed buggy. It fixed itself after a couple of days and usually works now. However, some days it doesn’t want to work. Sometimes a force quit from the app resolves this, other times I have to wait for it to come back to the intended behavior by itself.
