When I create a new url post, the web app has started listing all previous posts with the same url. In principle this is a good idea, except for on the daily games community. Most urls on that community get reposted daily, so there are always long lists of posts with the same url.

Is there a way I could block or edit this function just for that one community? The ideal would be if I could I limit it to only showing posts with the same url made in the last 24 hours, as that would help to prevent duplicate posts.

Add this custom css into your profile:

#urlUsed { display: none; }

Thanks

One thing to note, if you're doing this on a daily basis, those posts get collapsed together on Lemmy. Sometimes I avoid this because Lemmy favors the oldest post instead of the newest one, so I'll put the URL in the body of the post instead of making the post link to the url.

Thanks for the info. In this case, the url is the same but the post title includes the date, which seems to be enough. Also, sensible people sort this community by new 🙂

Hi, creator of !dailygames@lemmy.zip here. You can create unique links for most daily games by appending an ID to the URL.

For today's Wordle that would be https://www.nytimes.com/games/wordle/index.html#1777. Any other number works, but it's best to use today's Wordle ID.

The link still works, but is now unique for PieFed, Lemmy etc.

Interesting, thanks
