Thanks for the insight. I wonder if the Liftoff devs decided the calls were worth it.
Actually I just went and read Liftoff's source code. The "multi-instance" fetch logic is here: https://github.com/liftoff-app/liftoff/blob/d7fdeb0f948f0bb17c54617eb8c5b74f556fb01a/lib/pages/home_tab.dart#L377
The tl;dr is that Liftoff uses a very primitive way of handling it. From what I can tell Liftoff does not do any dedupping across instances so the same post may be shown multiple times. This actually makes the implementation much easier.
Do you know if Liftoff dedupped? Eg. would you see the same exact post multiple times? If so that is one simple way to resolve the issue however the user experience is worse.
