Why does it do that?

And how do I make it stop?

Over the last couple days, every time someone has added a new entry into a journal community to which I subscribe -- like chaucerhathblog, innerbitch_rss and fledgling_news -- all of the previous posts come through onto my friends page. I really don't know to have to scroll through a dozen posts going back -- in the case of fledgling_news -- all the way to May.

Anybody know how I can fix this?

I'm seeing the same things with my feeds. It is aggravating.

Better contact the LJ tech people. Some kind of date problem has likely occurred, and they might be able to help.

I had the same experience just once this week. But it seems to have stopped now.

????????
Good luck!

I would love to know how to prevent it. I had thought that it happened if I posted to Inner Bitch after all the other articles had timed out of the LJ RSS cache, but this weekend it happened on a post after a gap of only a day or two.

It happened recently on geeketiquette recently, too.

If you learn anything useful, please spread the word.

Happened one day to me, then went away. I figured it was a technical hic. You might try logging out of LJ completely, then logging in again.

Anything you see with the orange satellite-dish is a RSS feed -- a syndicated account from somewhere other than LJ -- and the process that scans for updates and imports them into LJ is very sensitive and easily broken. (We call the reposting of the last however many entries a case of "synburp".) One of the LJ team checked in a fix that should get pushed in the next release (Thursday) that will hopefully minimize the chance of it happening -- nobody knows what's causing this particular latest outbreak, since the code on LJ's side hasn't changed in ages, but it'll at least shut up the REALLY ANNOYING behaviour. :)
