Unread, read and bookmarks

Unread

An entry is unread when it arrived after you subscribed and nobody has marked it read. A feed you add today does not bring its whole archive as unread: the reader starts from the moment you subscribed, so the first view holds the entries that were on the feed then and whatever comes after. The badge next to a feed, a category and All counts the unread entries.

Marking read

• Scrolling past an entry marks it read. The list watches what leaves the top of the screen, so a quick skim counts.
• Opening an entry marks it read.
• Mark all as read in the top bar marks the whole view: a feed, a category, or All.
• An entry's menu has Mark as unread to bring one back.

A marked-read entry is not deleted; it leaves the unread view and stays where search and the feed's own view can find it.

Bookmarks

Bookmark in an entry's menu keeps it. Bookmarked entries are gathered under Bookmarks in the rail and are never removed by the clean-up below, read or not.

Ignoring posts like this

Ignore posts like this… in an entry's menu opens a rule prefilled from that entry's title. Saving it hides every entry of that feed that matches, now and in future. The rules are explained under Filters.

How long entries stay

Entries you have read are removed after your plan's history period, counted from the entry's date; the plans page has the numbers. An entry that is still unread stays, and a bookmarked entry always stays. A feed also keeps its newest entries whatever their age, so a feed that posts rarely does not go empty.
