I noticed that 50 entries from my Letterboxd RSS feed got duplicated at some point in July. I suspect that it has to do with some IDs from the RSS that changed over time.
Any way, I wanted to know if someone else had some similar issues and if there were tricks to remove the duplicates other than going through all of them and deleting them by hand one at a time.
I think you’re right about the IDs. I remember something with the Letterboxd feeds changing, and we also had to update our support for Letterboxd cover images in the timeline.
Sadly there’s no duplicate cleanup feature. I’d love to add something like that.
I had this happen to my Letterboxd feed and got loads of duplicates. Went through and manually deleted them all in MarsEdit. Tedious work so I subsequently switched back to Letterboxd posting via IFTTT, just in case
@manton A duplicate post finder and delete options would be a useful feature!
I made a change today (when “Import posts to blog” is selected when adding a feed) that attempts to avoid duplicates from Letterboxd feeds if the ID changes.
Still would love to add a more general-purpose duplicate finder!
