Streamline Your Social Media: Tapestry’s App Now De-Duplicates Your Feeds!
Tapestry, a revolutionary app aimed at organizing the open social web, has just introduced a fantastic new feature to enhance your social media experience. With the latest update, you can now easily manage your feeds by automatically removing duplicate posts, ensuring you receive streamlined content from multiple social networks. This means if you follow the same user on different platforms like Bluesky and Mastodon, you won’t have to see their posts repeated in your feed.
Introducing Crosstalk: A Game-Changer for Social Media Users
The new feature, known as Crosstalk, is included in the Tapestry 1.1 iOS update released on Tuesday. This significant update follows the app’s original launch in February 2025, demonstrating the team’s commitment to improving user experience.
The Team Behind Tapestry
Tapestry was developed by the same innovative team that created Twitterific, the acclaimed third-party Twitter client. They are also credited with coining the term “tweet” to describe Twitter posts. With Tapestry, the focus shifts to the emerging landscape of open social media platforms, where decentralized technologies aim to reduce the dominance of Big Tech.
Features of Tapestry: Aggregating Content from Multiple Sources
In a single application, Tapestry allows users to track posts shared through open technologies, including:
- Social posts from Bluesky and Mastodon
- Content from RSS-powered platforms such as Tumblr, Reddit, and blogs
- YouTube videos and podcasts
Users can even create personalized feeds by combining these diverse sources.
Addressing the Duplicate Post Challenge
One of the common issues with multi-feed aggregation apps like Tapestry is facing duplicate posts when users share updates across different platforms. Fortunately, the latest update effectively filters out these duplicates, even if the content is slightly altered. For example, if a lengthy post from Mastodon is shortened to fit Bluesky’s 300-character limit, Tapestry can still recognize and hide the duplicate post.
Users have the option to:
- Hide the duplicate post
- Muffle it for less visibility
- Remove it entirely from the feed
Additional Features and Customizations
The updated version of Tapestry also introduces Quicklinks, which serve as shortcuts to your preferred timelines or custom feeds. Users can switch between up to four different timelines by long-pressing the feed icon on the app’s toolbar. Notably, these settings can be customized per device, allowing for different favorites on iPhone and iPad.
Moreover, an easier-to-access button for refreshing feeds and navigating between feed locations has been added to the far-left menu. Users can also customize feeds directly from an item’s action menu and even swap the app’s icon.
