What are you using to browse? The default webUI de-duplicates cross-posts, most apps do not yet.
I've been using Sync and am planning on trying Lift off.
My favorite is Thunder. But then I'm probably biased considering I'm on the dev team.
Cross-post de-duplication will come eventually, but right now, the dart API library (also used by liftoff) doesn't have cross post related stuff implemented yet.
Having used both, Sync is better. Liftoff felt light years behind Sync. I will also note as a purely anecdotal, I saw more duplicates on Liftoff than I do now on Sync... I still see a lot of duplicates but not nearly as much as before... Grabbed, I was using Liftoff when the Reddit migration was occurring so that could be the reason I dare more duplication with it.
Don't use liftoff. It hasn't been updated in over a month despite being pretty incomplete and still lacks the ability to display some really basic features like spoilers or superscript.
The dude just had twins and just said he's back updating it. I love liftoff.
