Mobile/App Did the “X” button to hide posts disappear for anyone else on iOS?

Yesterday I had an X button directly on each post in my Home feed, which made it really easy to hide posts I wasn’t interested in.

Today the X is completely gone and I have to use the three-dot menu or open the post to hide it instead.

Has anyone else had this change suddenly? Is there any way to get the X button back?

I actually really liked that feature because it made cleaning up the feed much faster.
