Does anyone know what has happened here, I've got two Brisbane subs? I posted in one and then it cross posted to the other... but how is there two in the same place? They both link back to https://aussie.zone/c/brisbane

I don't know if this is helpful to whoever wants to try and debug this, but I couldn't get the same thing in my third party app (Boost For Lemmy). I guess that either means that this isn't being returned in the API (making it a UI bug), or my app has some kind of logic programmed into it to ignoring duplicates from the same instance. I'd say that's unlikely though, because Boost for Lemmy is basically just a Lemmy port of Boost for reddit on life support. It would be a weird edge case to account for, when compared with all the other bugs that affect many more people that aren't patched
Searching Brisbane only brings up one local community (and the trains community, of course). I can see that post twice, both in /local/new and /Brisbane/new
My money is on some kind of UI bug. I'm not any kind of definitive authority though. I'm not even an authority, or definitive. I'd suggest logging in through either an incognito or private window tab without any extensions. I know LocalCDN, NoJS, and Privacy Badger sometimes screw things up, if you're using anything like that.
I see the same results as Baku using a different third-party client (Voyager).
Searching for communities matching "brisbane" shows one [email protected] and two others (Brisbane trains, and also a community on a different instance).
When I view the Brisbane community sorted by new, I see two separate posts about water showing up next to each other, not nested the way that cross-posts usually show.
