Feature or improvement you want

I have a number of feeds from the same news source (GB News). Their sub feeds have articles replicated across them. Thus GB News Politics and GB News UK both may have the same article.

I have a Tag, GB News, which is the parent for the sub feeds. When I view this Tag's articles, I see all the duplicates.

I would like to see a single article. Further, when this article is read I would like all the duplicates marked as read too. This is regardless of whether I read the article in a subfeed or in the Tag.

Why should this be added?

This allows more efficiency on the part of the user.

Have you enabled Skip duplicate articles in each of the feeds?

You find this by selecting Edit feed from the menu. It needs to be enabled for all feeds which can have duplicates, e.g. all the feeds in your tag.

Yes, all sub feeds are enabled for skip duplicates.

Can you please attach the relevant feeds so this can be improved?

The first three generally have most of the duplicates.

Hi, I'm also seeing this behaviour with Skip duplicate articles enabled for all feeds while viewing a tag group.

Some example feeds that show duplicate articles when tagged together, even with the skip option enabled for all feeds are:

• https://www.perthnow.com.au/feed

• https://thewest.com.au/rss

 

All of the guardian's feeds, as well as any publications that are sisters of each other eg. 'The Age', 'Sydney Morning Herald' also exhibit this behaviour.

I can post more links when I get back to a desktop if it would be helpful.
