Is anyone else noticing repeating posts when continuously scrolling? (lemm.ee)

When scrolling through the main feed eventually I will hit a point where it’s roughly the same 20 or so posts on repeat. The posts might not be in the exact same order and new content will be mixed in.

In Apollo it would eventually hit “the bottom” of the feed and it wouldn’t go any further. This feels like the app is fetching the next posts but without a full page of results it's returning the same posts again and again.

Anyone else seeing this?

It’s kind of the entire point of lemmy, it’s decentralized. Nobody can control other instances. There’s nobody “allowing” it including the lemmy devs

    I don’t think what you’re describing is technically feasible. If it worked how you describe, then when someone makes a community that instance would have to somehow go and ask every single other instance in existence - hey do you have this community name already? We wouldn’t be able to like, keep a database of all the existing communities everywhere.
