Duplicate post on this instance from a remote user

I just noticed that /u/Synthead@lemmy.world posted in /c/lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca and for some reason it posted twice on this instance

When you take a look at his post history on Lemmy.World, he only posted once.

I'm not sure what situation could have caused a double-post in the backend/ActivityPub level? Anyway I just wanted to flag the odd behavior.

Thanks, and sorry for pinging you @[email protected], not your fault at all.

  • It looks like this post happened twice on lemmy.world and the second was removed, but then we didn't get that removal for some reason.

    These are the two posts on the lemmyworld side:

    635 doesn't load for me though so I'm assuming it was deleted by admin/mod.

    I suspect this is all on lemmy.world's side, they've been having stability problems and haven't updated to 0.18.3 yet either.

    lemmy=# select id, name, ap_id, published from post where id in (2238275,2238125);
   id    |         name         |              ap_id               |         published
