A question about site mechanics: I can no longer find EYs "My April Fools' Day Confession" post in Main. It is just not listed there neither by rating nor by time. I can navigate toward it from comments or bookmarks.
Checking this a bit I find that this is only filtered if I'm logged in. And I remember that something like this happened some weeks ago with another post which was moved between Main and Discussion.
Is this a bug or is this some kind of filtering feature I don't get?
In preferences there are options to hide posts that you have liked or disliked.
Yes. That's it. I never changed the filtering settings and didn't know the effect. And I don't downvote often enough to notice that earlier.
How did you figure it out?
Actually, the default is not to hide anything. I figured it out by knowing the preferences page, and thus knowing about functionality that is built into the site.
