Why do old posts show up in my feed?

Most days I'll scroll through the All feed and read posts of interest. If I come back an hour or so later and start scrolling again, I'll see the same posts in the same order, even though I've set my Lemmy app Voyager to hide posts automatically if I scroll past them.

Note that I'm not talking about duplicate posts, I'm talking about a repeated series of posts.

Anyone have any ideas on what's causing this?

Is this a PEBCAK issue, or is there something else going on?

Edit: I've got "mark read on scroll" enabled as well as "hide read posts".

Are you sure they’re the same? I know a lot of re/cross posting gets done.
Although I have to admit that there is a cycle to most posts.

Well, the posts seem to be a sequence of ones I've seen before. So, unless several people are each posting the same information to a different community in the same order, I'm pretty confident that it's old posts.
