Description

Sometimes I'll see the same post show up multiple times in my timeline within a very short period. This is because the post has been reblogged by several accounts. It would be great if there was a limit on the number of times a given post can appear in your timeline over a given period. I don't want a complete "you saw this post once, it will never appear in your timeline again" thing, but it would be nice if a given post only showed up in my timeline once in an hour or so regardless of how many accounts have reblogged it.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the timeline handling for reblogged posts and determine how a post's recent appearances can be tracked. Done means repeated reblogs are suppressed for about an hour but the post can appear again afterward, with coverage for repeated reblogs and expiry.
