A client system for providing content, comprising:

• a memory;
• a display;
• one or more processors;
• one or more programs stored in the memory and configured for execution by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
• detecting execution of a mark-all-read command associated with a specified stream to which a user of the client system has subscribed, wherein the specified stream comprises two or more content feeds, and wherein each content feed comprises a set of content items published by a respective publication source in which all of the content items are marked as read upon the execution of the mark-all-read command;
• recording a time of execution of the mark-all-read command;
• and
• displaying content items associated with the specified stream in accordance with a criterion that content items having associated timestamps dated prior to the recorded time of execution of the mark-all-read command are displayed in a visually distinctive format from content items having associated timestamps dated after the recorded time of execution of the mark-all-read command, wherein the displaying includes determining which content items associated with the specified stream have associated timestamps dated prior to the recorded time of execution of the mark-all-read command.
