When scrolling through the main feed eventually I will hit a point where it’s roughly the same 20 or so posts on repeat. The posts might not be in the exact same order and new content will be mixed in.
In Apollo it would eventually hit “the bottom” of the feed and it wouldn’t go any further. This feels like the app is fetching the next posts but without a full page of results it’s returning the same posts again and again.
Anyone else seeing this?
yep, this is happening quite a lot for me

I have noticed this too. I was very excited to have the “mark read on scroll” option added with the update yesterday.
However, as I am scrolling and marking posts read I have noticed that a lot of the posts that were marked read keep reappearing as unread. Not other instances, but the same posts.
Hard to capture this in the wild, but I will try to get images of this happening.
I’m experiencing the same unread issue when marking comments as read to clear out my inbox. Everything just reappears as it was.
Yes, and I waited until this came up a second time to write this lol
I have been noticing this more and more lately. Also as the gaps between posts gets larger the more posts I see repeated.
Yep, seeing it too, and weird gaps in the feed too.
Same! I thought I was losing my mind.
This sounds similar to something I fixed in a different Lemmy app. I think this issue existed in a few other apps too at one point. But basically, It’s possible that when you fetch the second page of posts from Lemmy, it can give you a post that was present in the first page fetch. It can also give you chunks of duplicates. Very annoying. But yeah I’m sure it’s something that will get addressed.
There are many instances of posts being posted to the same named communities on different instances - like aww@lemmy.world and aww@lemmy.ml. I haven’t personally seen actual duplicates on Memmys side yet. If you find a way to reproduce reliably let me know.
I just did a screen recording of the behavior. This happens every time almost every time I browse. What is the best way for you to receive a video showing the repeating posts?
Someone was explaining this to me last week. The algorithm goes by comments and upvotes. I was seeing 3 year old posts but had upvoted before I saw how old it was. That sent it to hot and then someone probably made the same mistake and so on, which made the post get hotter. I think they’re re-configuring the algorithm so it may change.
Also, this is conjecture, but I think when you’re in all, you’re seeing your instance’s version and everyone else’s version of the same post. So if someone from your instance upvotes, it makes it hotter. Please correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not positive this is the case.
I’m seeing the same thing as OP. This is definitely a bug. There will be a gap in posts, like a “missing” post and then I’ll see the same exact post(s) come up from the same community as before.
This is on the TestFlight version which the devs have acknowledged is a little broke right now.
People from other communities cross post. You need more unique communities on your feed not just memes.
I browse All most of the time it still happens and most of the time its not crossposted content
Yeah, this is when browsing all. This issue is not related to my personal subscriptions.
I thought it was cross posts at first, but then started checking that it was the same posts from the same communities.
Every instance has its own members and creates its own content. So, for example, a relevant new is posted in multiple instances, thus you see it multiple times. The most common occurrence of duplicate content.
