I fixed the "hide" link for posts on Reddit and now all I see is fresh content

I&#x27;m someone who likes to hide posts on Reddit after I see them. That way, I never have to worry about seeing the same stuff over and over when I load reddit later. With this technique, the ONLY thing I see are fresh posts.<p>One problem: The &quot;hide&quot; link on posts is tiny, and appears in a different location under each post (depending on how many comments that post has, etc).<p>After suffering with this annoyance for over 10 years, I <i>finally</i> fixed the issue by deploying a custom CSS snippet inside of Reddit Enhancement Suite.<p>And here is the CSS code snippet, in case anyone wants to use it for their own RES config:<p><pre><code> &#x2F;* Only apply custom hide button styling on listing pages *&#x2F; .listing-page .entry { position: relative; padding-right: 100px; } .listing-page .top-matter { margin-right: 10px; } .listing-page .hide-button { position: absolute; transform: translateY(-50%); width: 100px; height: 94%; right: 4px; top: 48%; margin-bottom: 5px; } .listing-page .hide-button a { display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; width: 100%; height: 100%; background: #1a1a1b; color: #909090; border-radius: 3px; text-decoration: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 500; border: 1px solid #343536; transition: all 0.2s ease; } .listing-page .hide-button a:hover { background: #272729; color: #d7dadc; border-color: #d7dadc; } </code></pre> Where to put the CSS snippet:<p>RES settings console → Appearance → Stylesheet Loader (stylesheet) → Load Stylesheets (loadStylesheets)<p>Side note: I highly recommend combining this with the &quot;Fix Hide Links&quot; and &quot;Hide Link Instant&quot; feature toggles in Reddit Enhancement Suite. Clicking the &quot;hide&quot; link to a post should just instantly hide the post.

And here is a bonus CSS Snippet to plug into your RES config. You will never guess what it does:<p>.promotedlink { display: none !important; }
