If you use Mastodon through your server's website, you might have noticed an eye icon ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๏ธ in the top right corner of post threads. Have you ever wondered what this does?

This icon is really useful if you are viewing a thread with lots of posts hidden by Content Warnings (CWs). Clicking the eye toggles all the CWs for the entire thread open or closed, which saves a lot of time if there are many CWed posts in that thread.

More info in this guide:

Screenshot of the first post in a thread viewed through Mastodon's web interface. In the top right corner there is an eye icon, and it has been highlighted with a circle, arrow and caption.

The word "Hide" is, ironically, hiding the eye icon. ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services what it does (on mobile phone), is blocking text ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿซฃ

Haven't found a way to hide it

The eye on the official mobile app just hides a particular post, yeah.

The thing about hiding or revealing a whole thread is only if you're using the web interface.
