Description
Scenario: Someone makes a banger of a post and half your follow list reposts it.
Scenario: Someone immediately replies to their own post. (Issue 1671)
Problem: I don't need to see the same post multiple times.
Proposed Solution: Keep track of the original post UIDs and do not display a post if it has already been shown. Prune the table of post UIDs of entries older than, say, 7 days in the background daily or on each app load.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Find the timeline rendering entry point and the post-storage or background-work entry points, then trace how reposts and self-replies expose original post UIDs. Done means repeated posts are suppressed and UID records older than seven days are pruned on the proposed schedule, covering both scenarios.
