Did you know the @pixelfed app uses a deduplication algorithm on the hashtag feed?

Early on we identified a pattern of accounts posting the same content on their Mastodon/Pleroma account and again on their Pixelfed account.

Nobody wants to see duplicate posts, and I’m proud of the complex yet elegant solution I shipped!

It’s the small things and attention to detail that set us apart 😁

@darnell @pixelfed Thanks!

It was tricky to implement, there were a ton of edge cases between platforms until I devised a new algo that uses several "signals" and ranks them efficiently.

It does make browsing the hashtag feeds so much better, it's not perfect but it's a great experience compared to the current one on other platforms!
