Add option to hide read posts

I read your bug report and it’s somewhat light on details. Could you update the bug with more about what you’re like to see here? Specifically, are you concerned about threads or about messages within those threads? And maybe a description of how this features works on other forums platforms?

FWIW, I rely on the thread read/unread state a lot, which is visually indicated by the title of the thread being in bold. I find that super useful, and also quite reliable these days.

There are some topics/tags where I would like to be able to read all of the threads under them so it would be nice to have an option when viewing a topic or tag to hide all of the threads that I have already read so I can only see threads that I haven't read.

I deal with that by bookmarking the page with the sort criteria embedded. So, rather than this:

https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/topics/developer-tools-and-services/developer-forums

I bookmark this:

https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/topics/developer-tools-and-services/developer-forums?sortBy=activity&sortOrder=desc

I can then open the page and look for unread threads, which are easy to spot because the title is in bold.

What I meant was that I wanted to see older threads that I haven't read yet and didn't want to have to scroll past dozens of recent threads that I have already read.

Is there a search operator for this on the Apple Developer Forums? On the Swift forums I can search using #general-announce in:unseen to see only announcements that I have not read yet.
