Is anyone else noticing a lot of repeated posts in their feeds recently?

Almost each time I go through my subscribed, local, or all feeds I am now seeing the same post from the same community multiple times.

I'm using 'last 6 hours' as a filter if that helps.

I've seen it as well. A part of it is because posts get down voted, so when you scroll down it gets displayed twice since it moved in the ranking in between loading. This also means if a post gets up voted, you can easily miss it. It's only an issue with posts that have few votes usually, so not a huge deal.

But I've also seen where the same few posts just repeat twice for seemingly no reason. I'm not really sure how the data gets retrieved. With other systems I've seen a "session" associated with a cursor. That cursor moves through the data, maintaining the order. That way it doesn't matter that stuff changes in between client data retrieval. Lemmy doesn't seem to work like that, simply querying the database with filters. That isn't the best honestly.

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
