Description

ref: p1702239843834199-slack-C05N140C8H5

It would be great to be able to filter out/hide x-posts from feeds since many times the user follows multiple P2s and posts are x-posted between them, causing a list of cards for the same post to show up in the feed.

A short-term solution is proposed here: https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/issues/19813

But a longer-term solution (filter/hiding from feed) would be nice.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Reader feed entry point and the related short-term proposal in WordPress-Android issue 19813. Define how x-posts should be identified and whether filtering is user-controlled, then confirm the expected feed behavior before implementation; no specific files or tests are named here.
