Connect automatically hides every post I click on. It also, at least on my phone, often closes down and restarts when I switch apps or lock my phone which causes to me lose any comment I was in the middle of typing because, even with drafts ON, it would forever hide that post and there's no where for me to find it again. This has been the most frustrating app feature and nothing comes close to it.

Btw I tried to disable every 'hide post' option in settings, but Connect still hides every post I open once.

A history of visited or hidden posts will solve the issue.

I'd also like to thank the app devlopers for keeping the app light, fast, and ad-free at least for the time being.

Have you tried to disable hide read posts and cleared the hidden posts list (the last option)? Otherwise that calls for a bug, as it should work. Still, a list of last visited would be a nice feature! It seems to be there after all, just not accessible

I did both just like you said. The clear hidden posts option does nothing. I can secreen record it for you if you wish.

I have to sign out and delete all app data to see that post again, but 99% of the times I wouldn't even be able to find it via search ... and that's how it disappears forever. Super frustrating bug which affects the functionality of the app every time I use it
