Something strange just happened. I'll do a bug report if it happens again. I posted a link post in bitcoin territory. When I checked it a while later there were two identical posts. I figured I messed up and posted twice, so I deleted one of them. This action caused both to be deleted. Then I realized that both posts had been zapped the same number of sats and had the same reply. Any ideas what might have happened?

I created an issue for this. It sounds like we have an issue with our "storage" on devices creating the appearance of a duplicate.

I guess it was a post that was shown on two pages. We're aware of this bug, I think it only happens between pages if ranking changed.

edit: Oh, guess that wasn't what happened here: #780107

I think it only happens between pages if ranking changed.

Yes, you're right. I've always seen them for the posts sitting somewhere in the middle, mostly after 10-15 posts.

It should only happen for posts at the end of a page:

Yupp. That's what I actually meant. It happens exactly there.

For me, it only seems to happen after I hit the "more" button on the bottom.

Right, and someone also noticed it with replies.

It hasn't happened to me with posts, but it has with comments. I also thought it was my mistake, but after the second one I realized that it's something on the page.

I also saw it, too. I commented on the first one, then the second one to ask what happened. Did you end up deleting both of them?

I only clicked to delete one, but they both disappeared.

Interesting. Something I will have to keep in mind if I ever decide to post. I had a few errors before from replying, k00b figured it out though.

It's been happening a lot but it seems that they aren't double post but 1 more identical post while going to recent after posting.

Sometimes, while looking at the top posts, I also see two same posts one after the other. If you zap both then you actually zap one post twice which is amazing.

I haven't seen it before. I'm glad to know I'm not going competely insane yet

You've never been insane afaict. I just didn't report it because when I refreshed the page, it sorted out.

I also saw a similar post someone made, and I experienced this myself when posting a news article in the Science territory. The post went through, but the option to post with the link appeared again. I was a bit confused, so I checked my profile and realized I was right—lol, I saved myself from posting it again.

Was it after clicking more that you saw two of them?

Yes, that's when it happens for me, that I recollect.
