At the moment, a post is marked as “read” after just opening it. I understand it is useful not to have to mark every post as “I read this”, but it makes it so that if I just look at a post for 10 seconds to see whether it interests me, it gets marked as read. I would prefer if one could change the settings to a “I have to mark posts as <read> manually” mode. With a small box at the bottom of a post, one can check.
Yeah, this is something I’ve been wanting for a while, but requires a bunch more engineering work to get accurate. I’ve been wanting something like “fullreads” for a while, or maybe “completion percentage” which we can use to assess what fraction of a post you actually read.
I think few people would want to mark all posts as read manually, but we could provide overrides, and improve our algorithms to get it right much more by default.
