Most days I’ll scroll through the All feed and read posts of interest. If I come back an hour or so later and start scrolling again, I’ll see the same posts in the same order, even though I’ve set my Lemmy app Voyager to hide posts automatically if I scroll past them.
Note that I’m not talking about duplicate posts, I’m talking about a repeated series of posts.
Anyone have any ideas on what’s causing this?
Is this a PEBCAK issue, or is there something else going on?
Edit: I’ve got “mark read on scroll” enabled as well as “hide read posts”.
Sort is set to set to All:New
Which is also weird. I just saw several one of those posts, 8 hours old in the middle of the feed.
I think those are federated posts that were recently pushed to your insurance, thus considered new for your instance, even though the post itself could be older
But I’ve seen those posts before, so I’m not sure how I could have seen them if they hadn’t been pushed to my instance already.
Also, only one Lemmy account, so no potentially spurious side effects from switching between accounts.
New is infinite but yeah that would be wierd that it’s coming out of order.
Somebody else mentioned xposting which would cause exactly that though.
Here is what it looks like if you haven’t noticed it. Note the primary comm listed above the current one
I understand. That’s not what I’m seeing, it’s the same (sequence) of posts.
Do you have to scroll far for that to happen? You must be pretty active to use that sort. I only use new for comms I’m subscribed to
Not really. Sometimes I even get to the end of the feed :)
When I relaunched 20 minutes ago, it took about three screen fulls to find some already seen posts, then a whole lot of new, then more old ones from nine or so hours ago when I checked at lunchtime.
Ohh, I forgot you said you were using that feature. Maybe I should try that
