Hi all,

Probably not a bug, but it looks odd: I share both a mailing list & todo 
tracker across a number of projects / repos as I don't expect to get a 
lot of feedback and don't wish to manage many channels. When I look at 
my project landing page (https://sr.ht/~phlash/) I see items from the 
list and tracker appearing multiple times in the activity area, once per 
connected project. Given it's possible to share a list or tracker (ie: I 
don't think I'm doing it wrong), could / should the activity area be 
filtered to avoid the duplication?

Cheers,
~phlash.

I do not see any duplicates in the activity of that project, neither as 
logged in nor as anonymous user.

Could you:

1. Check if you see duplicates when not logged in?
2. If no, let me know if there are any private resources connected to
    that project, like private repos, trackers, or such?

Cheers,
Conrad

Hi,

I have a similar situation. I have recently sent a patch to 
~sircmpwn/public-inbox ([PATCH useplaintext.email] Reference RFC 1855 in 
section about etiquette) and that action appears multiple times on my 
activity page (https://sr.ht/~tpt/). It is listed with different 
projects in the 'via' label, which I guess are all projects where 
public-inbox mailbox is associated to. I only see this when logged in.

I have a screenshot if needed.

Cheers,

This is expected behavior. When you share a mailbox or tracker between multiple
projects, the hub cannot know which emails or tickets are for which projects,
and so each item will appear once per associated project. If you want to avoid this,
you should use a separate mailing list or tracker per project.

With regards to the user activity view, it might make sense to merge those
duplicate entries into a single entry to avoid confusion.

I understood that this is the normal behavior once I got the hang of it.
Thanks for the explanation.

I agree with this. As I said I have contributed via public-inbox and my 
activity view has 19 entries of 'the same thing'. Earlier there are 
another 19 entries for replying to a thread. Merging each of these to 
their respective event might give a more pleasant view.

Going with one event and all projects listed in the 'via' label might
give another problem of too long coma separated list: via powerctl, 
mkproof, hare-irc,...

If this proves to be a real task, I'm up for making a patch although I 
will need some time to learn the codebase a little.
