Is there any way to mark a post as "read" simply by scrolling over it instead of clicking on it?

Is there an app that can do this?
- Voyager does that.
  
  Thunder too
  
  Found it! Thanks! 🙏🏼
  
  That's the one I'm using but I can't get the result I'm looking for... :(
  
  I would love that ...going to try voyager.
  
  What specific feature is this? Do you all mean how a post you’ve read is a darker color when you go back, or are there different scrolling gestures options? (Not the swiping ones)
- Boost can do that.
- mlem can do this.
- I think Summit can do it too
- Summit, Voyager, Boost, Thunder, Eternity, Connect etc.
  
  Actually this feature is a requirement to me (as well as a button/shortcut to hid said read posts) so if a Lemmy client does not have it I just won't use it (reason number 1 why I stopped using Sync for Lemmy, it has been broken for months now).
I see lots of app recommendations, but is there any way to do this on desktop? I really don't want to have to click on each post, but I'm tired of getting the same stuff over and over again.
- Voyager is available as a PWA
Boost for Lemmy does this.
Another option if you want: Sync for Lemmy.
- Sync is broken in this regard, it doesn't permanently hide posts anymore.
  
  My bad. Didn't know that. I have been using Thunder and Interstellar more than Sync.
- Only if you have a very old Lemmy instance.
