Yeah PieFed searches for similar posts by url. Obvs that won’t work for posts without a url… Falling back to title would be easy but probably lots of false positives.
Yeah, I was about to reply like you - but realised they meant similar titles rather than URLs. I do think it should be time-limited though.
ie: If I make a thread “What’s your favourite obscure series?” on TV, that someone posted it 2 years ago in some other community isn’t very relevant lol
Piefed has had that feature for a while.
Which Piefed instance were you using?
Edit: you mean titles and descriptions, not URLs?
@rimu@piefed.social how difficult would that be to implement?

That’s my feeling as well
URL seems like be the logical thing to search for to prevent duplicates. It’s strange consider title or description.
