hello @dansup thank you for your #Columnly project; i only chanced upon it today but already think it is simply fantastic! 🥳. could you pls help me understand a few things with it?

• i read in https://columnly.social/ that one option is "Live, without the jumps; New posts stream in and wait behind a "Show new posts" bar until you want them, so what you're reading never moves"

but so far i can't seem to make it work that way. regardless of me enabling or disabling Add new posts to columns as they arrive in Settings, my various timelines still auto-update when they receive new content, without doing as that quote says. clearly i'm doing it wrong, so... help, pls?

• in the messages section, how do i actually mark them as read, to then clear the red counter badge from the icon in the sidebar? i had assumed it would be as simple as manually viewing each "unread" one, but that does not seem to help.

• Phanpy, Statuzer & Masto itself each let the user view their newly posted item in a dedicated mode [ie, separate to the generic timeline columns], which allows one to quickly identify typos or formatting etc errors not noticed before sending. does Columnly also have something like this?

• is there an option for new Notifications to remain "new" until manually clearing them? eg like how Masto & Statuzer provide a sticky visual reminder that persists til the user manually acknowledges them?

• atm i am struggling to make the dot-points work the way i am used to in my other three UIs

your project is a very exciting addition to fedi clients, after other lovely ones like #Statuzer & #Phanpy. thank you for gifting us with it 🤩
