Lemmy's 'Create Post' page includes an automatic search within the specified communities for posts with similar titles and descriptions. This is extremely helpful in preventing similar items from being posted again and again, helping save valuable time for mods and admins.

Piefed doesn't have this.

That's basically the only feature keeping me on Lemmy at this point.

Piefed has had that feature for a while.
Which Piefed instance were you using?

Edit: you mean titles and descriptions, not URLs?

@rimu@piefed.social how difficult would that be to implement?

Yeah, I was about to reply like you - but realised they meant similar titles rather than URLs. I do think it should be time-limited though.

ie: If I make a thread "What's your favourite obscure series?" on TV, that someone posted it 2 years ago in some other community isn't very relevant lol

Yeah PieFed searches for similar posts by url. Obvs that won't work for posts without a url... Falling back to title would be easy but probably lots of false positives.

That's my feeling as well

URL seems like be the logical thing to search for to prevent duplicates. It's strange consider title or description.
