1 month agoI don’t know, if there’s any hosted instances of it, or how mature it is, but one of the Lemmy devs has experimented with using the frontend of phpBB (basically the software for old-school forums) with a Lemmy backend: [email protected]
To my knowledge, they had some pretty quick successes with it and one might be able to just slap this onto a server right now…
If you’ve got specific accounts you want to follow, you can get an RSS feed containing their public posts.
In terms of native clients, the closest such feature I know of, is that Fedilab (for Android) can remember your position in the timeline, so that you can resume reading.
If you primarily use one timeline, then you wouldn’t re-encounter already read posts, because they’re in the past from the remembered position.
I have to say, though, that it’s not the most reliable feature in the world…
