Is this an app-specific issue?
I've seen a few references to this in the last couple of days, but I don't see it myself. On Firefox (and presumably on any browser) I just see one version of a crossposted thread, with a note at the bottom that links to the crossposts.
It would be tricky to stop duplication since it silences other instances.
It would be cool to simply collapse them underneath the one with the most discussion/replies to show an instance URL back link.
Tricky or not, that's what Lemmy already does, by default.
I'm not sure how it prioritizes it, but what I see, in (mobile) Firefox, is a single version of a thread woth links to the crosspost(s) at the bottom.
So this doesn't appear to be a Lemmy issue, but an issue with whatever app(s) people are using.
Not in the API. They're returned as separate items.
Yeah I haven’t noticed this on my app either. Or maybe I scrolled past it? But not sure what part of the endpoint other apps could modify for this duplication to occur.
I wonder if they are pulling the cross posts somehow and just inserting it into the feed.
Might be. I only use Sync on Android, so I've not seen how it is on other platforms.
Sync Dev here.
Can you check Vs what you see in the browser?
I'm not doing anything to the sort order / filtering duplicate posts.
It's too late to check with the reddit news, but I see another example with Baldurs Gate horny companions article from eurogamer showing up from both beehaw and sh.just.works, so looks to me like it happens in the browser as well.
I'm not yet sure how to tell if something has been crossposted or just the same link submitted twice, if that makes any difference.
This is not a Sync issue, this is how you've set your interests and then the chance they come in grouped. That's a lemmy thing.
I think that's a sync issue as I've never had this issue before. However, if I go to browse similar communities I see virtually identical posts in the communities just not in my subscribed, local or all feeds.
Seems like a sync issue
