Is this an app-specific issue?

I've seen a few references to this in the last couple of days, but I don't see it myself. On Firefox (and presumably on any browser) I just see one version of a crossposted thread, with a note at the bottom that links to the crossposts.

It would be tricky to stop duplication since it silences other instances.

It would be cool to simply collapse them underneath the one with the most discussion/replies to show an instance URL back link.

Tricky or not, that's what Lemmy already does, by default.

I'm not sure how it prioritizes it, but what I see, in (mobile) Firefox, is a single version of a thread woth links to the crosspost(s) at the bottom.

So this doesn't appear to be a Lemmy issue, but an issue with whatever app(s) people are using.

Yeah I haven’t noticed this on my app either. Or maybe I scrolled past it? But not sure what part of the endpoint other apps could modify for this duplication to occur.

I wonder if they are pulling the cross posts somehow and just inserting it into the feed.
