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”.

Same. Those features have never worked for me either. Equally effective as pushing the crosswalk button at a traffic intersection, or pushing the “close door” button inside an elevator. Useless. Best I can do on Lemmy is click the “refresh button” sometimes or come back a few days later to get a fresh feed.
I have some success by using the “Hide Read Posts”, but it’s pretty flakey.
Is this about The forbidden fourth leche?
Seems like a Voyager problem … also rule 5.
Noted on both, though I wasn’t aware that I was asking for ICT support, rather I was attempting to discover if the problem I was seeing was unique to me or experienced by others, which turns out to be the case.
I’d rather not delete this thread, but if the mods feel that it’s in breach of the rules, I’ll abide by their ruling.
What’s your default sort? All:Hot will start to fetch posts from farther back because it’s infinite
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
I have the same issue and have just thought about it as a bugg as it also happens on Reddit from time to time
Try turning those settings off and seeing if they’re causing the bug.
Could be crossposts into other communities? Piefed automatically collapses crossposts into a single post, but I don’t think any of the apps do that yet.
If that was true I’d see the odd duplicate post, not a string of them. Voyager also shows crosposts like a post within a post, and I’m not seeing that.
