What it does

The "Prevent duplicate posts" setting in the Moderate and Filter panel detects and removes posts with nearly identical text across different sources in your feed. When duplicates are found, Juicer keeps one version and hides the rest.

How duplicates are detected

Juicer uses text similarity matching to find duplicates. Two posts are considered duplicates when their text content is 90% or more similar (after stripping HTML and normalizing whitespace).

⚠️ Important limitation

Deduplication works on text content only. Posts without text (image-only or video-only posts) are not checked for duplicates. Juicer does not compare images or videos.

Which post is kept?

When duplicates are found, Juicer keeps the post from the highest-priority source. Source priority is determined by the order of your sources in the Social Media Sources panel—sources at the top have higher priority. You can drag and drop sources to change the order.

Expected behavior when cross-posting

If you post the same content to multiple social media channels (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn), and you have all three as sources in your Juicer feed, the deduplication feature will keep only one version of each cross-posted item. This is expected behavior.

You cannot show the same post from all three sources and also prevent duplicates—these are mutually exclusive goals. The feature is specifically designed to hide the redundant copies.

When does it run?

Deduplication runs when you save your moderation settings or when posts are revalidated. It checks the most recent 100 posts in your feed. Since it processes a limited batch, running it multiple times may catch additional duplicates.

How to enable it

On your feed dashboard:

  1. Open the Moderate and Filter panel,

  2. Click the Filtering option,

  3. Enable "Prevent duplicate posts"

  4. Click Apply filters

  5. Choose whether to apply to existing posts or only new posts going forward
