I’m sorry, I misspoke and I’m going to edit my original comment.
The terminology here is “mark as read” and you’ll find the various settings in the general settings panel.
You can have it automatically hide things you’ve “read” and manually by doing the hold-and-tap.
Hold on a card to bring up the menu then tap hide. Might have to enable this in settings.
Edit, I misspoke. I was talking about the old “hide” feature from Reddit. It works a little different here, and you can mark posts as being “read” or you can have Boost track and automatically hide them. The various settings are in the general settings panel.

My personal experience:
I just took a look at my “Before & After” pictures that span May-Nov 2019. I lost 57Kg of fat and put on about 13Kg of muscle. It was interesting to look back at the slideshow just now!
Although it is difficult to distinguish the muscles growing vs. the fat shrinking, it looks to me like my increase in muscle mass started to be noticeable from around the 3 month point. By “noticeable” I mean that the “definition lines” started to be visible although major increase in mass isn’t apparent.
The increase in mass looks like it started around the 4-5 month point, at which point I had progressed past the “do my best” beginner workouts, and had established the required strength, endurance and range of motion to take the next steps, so to speak.
So I first noticed my strength, endurance, range, and muscular definition increasing, and later noticed the size increase.
I would like to encourage you to keep at it, and don’t chase results. Do what you’re doing with the goal of being happier, having fewer health complications and pains, a little bit of vanity which is totally fine, and let the rest take care of itself.
One of the things that can be very defeating is to assume you will have reached an arbitrary goal by an arbitrary time-frame. Try to shift your perspective to realize that you’re doing all the right things, perhaps there’s some efficiency tweaks but that’s another story. Keep going and don’t measure your progress against anybody else but you!
(I want to acknowledge that my story is not normal. Nobody should ever lose 10Kg+ a month. I’m one of these a__holes that has to do 50% of what most people need to get the same results though and that’s a blessing. I also have digestive and nutrient-absorption issues but I’m not sure how much that plays in.)
User Forty2 made a great comment and I agree with so much of that.
Do not focus on stopping a behavior. Focus on slowly moving into a new behavior until the old one slowly disappears.
You can use transitional steps. What I did, was to change from regular soda to diet, and I did it by slowly mixing diet into the sugar until the proportions had reversed. And eventually you got to the point where it was mostly diet. There, I successfully changed to diet soda, I didn’t do it overnight, I took a month to do it and it was easy that way.
This applies in all areas of your sugar consumption.
For example, if you’re taking two measured tablespoons of sugar in each coffee… Start by reducing that amount by 7%. Yes, literally that small amount… But you layer one change on top of the next, on top of the next, once you have some success. It will take you literally 3 days to get used to the smaller amount of sugar, and you’ll barely notice it… And once that feels good, you reduce my another 7%
I remember many of these. Are you referring to the one where the stick figure kind of “breaks out” of the animation and starts to fight the animators tools? Like he attacks the pointer, the crop tool, etc
If this is the one, I very much remember it and I could probably dig it up.
Roasted almonds. Tons of protein, lots of fiber, often keeps me sated for longer than a “balanced” meal.
I buy them raw and roast them myself, it takes 15 minutes in the oven on a pan, that’s it. I have a giant tub that I go to when I need them.
Yes, they are calorie dense due to the oil but this is a replacement meal, not a daily thing.
It’s actually amazing how far 100 g of almonds will take you in a day. I managed to lose 130 lb of fat by incorporating various high protein nuts into my diet.
Edit: Unsalted only. Salted nuts just provoke greater sensations of hunger.
A digital assistant that can follow me around using the data my phone provides, and then use that data to actually suggest ways to improve my life.
“My phone” knows everything about me, where I go, what stores I visit, how long I’m there, transactions, etc. It knows all my contacts, all my social relationships, all my appointments, shopping lists, all my text messages, etc.
“Assistant has determined you stop for cigars about every 4 days. We’ve found this online store that will deliver your brand at a lower cost”
“Assistant overheard you mention that you need sugar, and it is absent from your shopping list.”
"Assistant will suspend realtime driving directions because it overheard you say ‘shut the fuck up, I’m stopping at 7-Eleven first’ "
Your comments are coming up FOR YOU.
You are so far out of your depth and you know “just enough to be dangerous” - I wish you well.
I’m glad you feel satisfied, I really am.
I’m not invested in this conversation to break you down or tell you you made the wrong choice.
I just think it’s much better for people to live in the reality of the situation. And the reality of the situation dictates a few things:
Any effort to remove your comments in a permanent way from Reddit servers is not happening, and the technical reasons have been described; effort to prevent the sale of your comments in this manner is fruitless.
Reddit leadership, administrators and developers have gone on the record saying that they simply restore deleted comments and those from deleted account at their sole whim and discretion.
The natural conclusion is to accept that you got burned by Reddit, and if you don’t want to contribute to them anymore, the only method to do so is by not participating in their app or site. You cannot retract your past participation and people need to understand this. Every time the discussion comes up about deleting one’s comments and account, it should be clearly pointed out by informed individuals that it will not achieve the desired objectives.
I really think it is better to describe how hopeless it is, so people get an understanding of some of the more sinister motives and machinations Reddit has.
I’m sorry to break it to you but there’s no hope.
Reddit admins have gone on the record recently saying that the content from deleted accounts will just be restored at their whim.
You have no chance to survive make your time.

The short answer is you really can’t.
Reddit Admins and developers have gone on the record multiple times over the last decade and then some, detailing how they specifically save every comment and every edited version.
Replacing your comments with a single SPACE or deleting them does nothing. At least insofar as you frustrating their attempts to sell your comment data.
For fuck sakes, can we not do this on Lemmy

Yeah no.
Calcium has a distinct flavor that humans crave, just the way we love the taste of umami.
edit: That’s also the answer to OP question. Limestone tastes like calcium.
I seriously never had a major gaffe.
My buddy Donny, however, repartitioned and overwrote the wrong hard drive… Destroying video that took in the neighborhood of about 9,000 hours to render.
This was in 1996 1997 so you can only imagine how devastating that was when our rendering farm was 10 machines with Pentium III’s.
Seems trivial now when we have so much computing power at our fingertips, but 10 computers as a dedicated rendering farm was considered insane at that time.
In a general sense, yes that’s a very good way to think and to communicate as well.
When you are dealing with clients however, never draw attention to downsides.
When you were dealing with regular folks, it’s much better to lead-in with something non-specific that lightly acknowledges it’s an imperfect idea, and then you proceed. Leaving the door open for doubt is often enough without having to spill your guts about conflicting feelings or thoughts.
