Gregory's Server@JetForMe That should not be an issue anymore. Are you running the latest version?

 @JetForMe If you are boosting from another timeline, it's going to appear at the top of your home timeline no matter what. My original response was because I was under the impression you were boosting a post and it was appearing again at the top of the same timeline.  @JetForMe That's the confusing part. We've tested this hundreds of times and when you boost a post in your timeline, it doesn't appear on top for us. The post you boosted just gets a badge. Feel free to send us a recording of what you see. @JetForMe alright check these 2 things. Make sure “hide duplicate boosts” is on in your ivory account settings. And then check your mastodon website settings to make sure this setting is on. @JetForMe so we are thinking it might just be the way your particular instance is working. When you boost a post lower on your timeline on the website, is the behavior the same? What about if you do it from the official mastodon app? @ivory As far as I can tell, no, my instance is not showing posts I boost (via the web UI) again in my timeline. I boosted a post, then refreshed the page to see if it would appear; it did not. It's a stock v4.2.3 install from source (not Docker). @JetForMe next time you experience this with a post, check that post to see if it’s coming from a non-mastodon instance. Feel free to send us a link to that post as well. The only thing we can think of at this point is you happen to be boosting a post from a non-mastodon instance and sometimes they do things a bit differently. @ivory it’s 100% of the posts I boost, pretty sure they’re all mastodon instances, but I’ll check. @JetForMe ok. At this point it seems like you are the only user we are aware of with this issue. It’s definitely not ivory. But still no idea what is causing it. @ivory okay this is weird. I’ve just boosted two posts that are behaving correctly. The only thing that’s different is the original posts were very recent in my timeline (less than five or six from present). |
@ivory 1.8.1 (from TestFlight) but I think it just updated today. I’ll let you know if I still see dupes.
