Only sometimes. Other times it won't post your comment at all. I still check to make sure my comments don't post more than once but sometimes the lag is so bad it's impossible to do even that.

YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

The problem is a UI thing too. In wefwef for example half the time you go to post something and it says ‘error posting’, your comment actually did post. But sometimes it doesn’t.
I typically go until I see success and then delete any duplicates I left on accident.
I literally posted the same comment 8 times because of that 💀💀💀
My default now is top 6 hours.
Was that water pump salvageable though?
I've had that happen a few time now too. I did it earlier today, the because of lag couldn't delete the second comment. Thanks for the tip!
Yeah this has happened to me.
Found this out the hard way 🤦♂️
Hello there, and welcome to our community! I hope you like it in here.
Could you please include some body text as to why should people know this, and how would that help them? It’s our second rule. Thank you :)
I made a post and got "network error", but it turns out it went through anyway. Took three tries to not get the error, so I ended up making three posts. Had to delete the two extras.
And then the delete doesn't federate fast enough :/
Speaking of not fast... I just got 8 comment replies in my inbox that were made up to 3 days ago.
Were they from lemmy.workd? I know they were backed up for a few days but maybe the recent upgrades fixed it? I have posts that I know are missing lemmy.world comments from a week ago that met the same fate..
Nope, they were mostly local users.
I don't think it is related to the amount of times one clicked submit. Duplicated posts appear anyway.
