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.
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.
New is infinite but yeah that would be weird 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
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.
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.
Is this about The forbidden fourth leche?
