Description
Fixes #1600
When the image preview is clicked, and the post has not been "read" before, a request is made to the lemmy server API to mark the post as read. If the user is not logged in, no attempt is made to mark the post as read. This uses functionality that has already been implemented in lemmy-js-client and lemmy server.
The reason for this change is explained in #1600, but basically it would be logical for a post to have been "read" if you have previewed the image. This is useful in combination with turning off "Show Read Posts" in the user profile settings, so that you only see posts in your feed that you have not viewed before. This already works well with non-image posts, but for image posts you don't want to open the whole post to check out the image.
I have not worked with modern javascript development before, so any feedback is appreciated. I looked at #1135 / #384 for inspiration for the code.
Screenshots
Graphics did not change.
Before
When the image preview is clicked, the post was not marked as "read". It was only marked as "read" if you opened the post, or liked the post.
After
When the image preview is clicked, the post is marked as read. The other ways of marking as read remain unchanged.
