How do you hide posts you don't want to see again?

Reddit provides a native Hide feature that removes individual posts from your feeds permanently, preventing them from reappearing in future browsing sessions. To hide a post on the desktop website, hover over the post to reveal its action menu and click the "Hide" option — it typically appears as a label beneath the post title alongside upvote, comment, and save actions. On the mobile app, hiding is done through the overflow (three-dot) menu that appears on any post card; selecting "Hide post" removes it immediately from your current view. Once hidden, the post does not reappear in your Home feed, r/popular, community feeds, or recommendation carousels. Reddit's Hide feature is associated with your account, so it persists across devices and browser sessions as long as you are logged in. You can review and manage your hidden posts by going to your profile page and looking for the Hidden tab, which lists every post you have ever hidden. Individual posts can be unhidden from this list if you change your mind, and the entire list can be cleared at once. The Hide feature is particularly useful in two scenarios. The first is dealing with repetitive content: if a particular type of post, story, or meme format keeps appearing in your feed and you have no interest in it, hiding a few instances signals to the algorithm that this content is unwelcome, and the Home feed's "Show fewer posts like this" option reinforces that signal more broadly. The second is managing feed hygiene after consuming content you do not need to see again — hiding read posts keeps your feed fresh rather than having already-viewed items repeatedly resurface. For more aggressive filtering, combining the Hide feature with the "Show fewer posts like this" option and community muting (addressed in the next question) creates a layered filtering system. Hiding operates at the individual post level, while muting operates at the community level, and together they offer considerable control over what remains visible in your feeds.
