π‘πππΊππππΊπ π°ππππ±I'm curious whether anyone on #Mastodon can explain why this post https://mstd.seungjin.net/@theguardian/116535352864096634 is appearing in my feed many times over? I follow several Maths/education related #hashtags (via #relays ), and thought at first I was getting one through each #hashtag #relay (1 post each), but when it exceeded that I looked and in fact it only contains one hashtag I follow, so it's the same post over and over again, maybe a dozen times so far. Why is that happenning? #askFedi #federation #activityPub
Also, I just got it another 2 times in my feed, only 11 minutes apart, with only 1 other post in-between them
Erik@SmartmanApps no idea what's going on here. It's a single person instance with one bot. But in case of being annoying, just mute or block

That's my bot; it publishes news from The Guardian's RSS feed whenever there's a new post. Are you getting the same post over and over?

Iβve heard reports of people(you are the second person) seeing duplicate posts when following certain hashtags. My bot shouldn't be posting duplicates, yet it seems to be happening(?). Possible problem in how Mastodon processes followed tags to see what's going on. #mastodon cc: @cazabon
