In case this is an app issue, i’m on eternity. Unlikely to be an instance issue i’ve noticed this several times on my alt too.
Sync here, never seen it. Probably your app
As i suspected thanks
It’s your app. Voyager, Memmy, Mlem, and the default web experience are fine.
Happens to me on Jerboa. I go to my All feed and sometimes it shows titles from my subscriptions feed with images of the All feed.
Always leaves me confused for a second but now I quickly realize what’s going and refresh.
Could you send me examples of this?
Not exactly what I described here, but if I go to Subscriptions and then quickly before it loads I go to the All feed, then I see this, which is the titles and bodies of posts from my Subscriptions feed with icons and upvotes from the All feed.
At this point I’m not sure if what I described in my first comment happens at all, or I misremembered this as being that. If it ever does, I’ll come back to you.

No it was a title from a seperate post that actually existed.
Oh, that’s probably the app. So, the way Android does infinite scroll, it takes a lot of resources to create a “view” (the thing that holds the details of a post), so as you scroll, when a view goes off screen, it gets reused instead of destroying it and creating a new one. This is called a recycler view. When a view gets recycled, it is supposed to replace the details that are unique to each post (title, image, etc.) and keep any other detais (any text that might be common to all posts, any sub views like upvote and downvote, etc.). But if your logic isn’t right, sometimes something might get kept instead of replaced when the view is recycled.
I remember making this mistake the first time I used a recycler view back when I was working on my senior project in college, many years ago now. I don’t remember how I fixed it or the exact details around why it happened, but I know that I did fix it at one point.
That’s super interesting, thanks
I’ve never seen this on the web, Jerboa, or Boost.
I suspected eternity too
