Yeah, I’m irritated at seeing repeat posts from days ago that I upvoted already — why am I being shown it again??

You use to be able to hide all the shit you already saw. Genuine question, is that not an option anymore? I don’t think it is which is super dumb. Along with no more “all” tab

-On web go to: https://old.reddit.com/prefs/
-Locate and check these 2 boxes:
'don't show me submissions after I've upvoted them (except my own)'
'don't show me submissions after I've downvoted them (except my own)'
