🐛 BUG: Duplicated posts after scrolling to "next page"

[willianba]

What went wrong? 🤔

Hey!! I already reported this long ago and now the issue's back 😭

I recorded this video to illustrate. After some time scrolling, new pages come with duplicate posts.

I wouldn't complain much, but after some time there are more duplicates than new posts.

Hi @willianba,

Duplicate posts on the feed make us cry 😢
Can you share some more info on how did it happen? Did you resize your screen? Did you wait a while before scrolling?

Hi @willianba,

actually i don't remember. but it was during work. so i'll assume i went to daily, i read couple posts, went back to work, and after some time i went to daily again.

so yes, i waited a while before scrolling again.

in this case, this could happen indeed as we expire the cache after several minutes of inactivity

[willianba]

got it. but being devil's advocate here: wouldn't be better to do something when the cache is expired? the dumbest thing I can think about is automatically refreshing the page.

i know this wouldn't solve having duplicates, because the posts would be there after refreshing the page. but at least we can see something happened instead of the same posts loading again

[idoshamun]

you're right and we should consider a better solution for that

[willianba]

great. thanks for the explanation @idoshamun! would you like me to keep the issue open so you can continue the discussion there?

[idoshamun]

yap let's keep it open

I am also experiencing this, but on a way more annoying scale: The same posts repeat every 2-3 rows up to 4 times per post on 15 rows.
It is not only a single post, but multiple, and the issue persist across reloads / cache clear.

Please see attached screenshot, i have zoomed out after the fact to show the posts in question.

@hareland We recently deployed a new feed version that introduced this issue.
We're actively working on fixing it

[idoshamun]

@hareland it should be fixed
