How does Deduplication work?

The current Feedly AI deduplication skill is content-based (not site or URL based). Feedly AI will read all the articles in your feeds, if the content of 2 (or N) articles overlap by more than 85%, then Feedly AI will consider these 2 (or N) articles as close duplicates. Feedly AI will only show you one copy and when you mark that copy as read, all the other copies will be automatically marked as read (and not shown in your Feedly feeds).

You can also learn more about Deduplication in our blog post here: https://blog.feedly.com/deduplication-skill-feedlyai/.

Deduplication is enabled by default, if for any reason you'd like to disable it, you can do so here: https://feedly.com/i/account/ai.

Notes:
  • Deduplication doesn't work in 3rd party apps using Feedly as a backend sync service.
  • Deduplication doesn't work within a source/publisher. This is because some sources reuse the same URL for all the articles they publish or publish the same text with different media like videos etc. so at this moment it is not safe to deduplicate within a source, only across different sources.
  • Feedly looks for close duplicates published in the past 31 days. If you've read an article published in the past 31 days, and a new close duplicate is published later, it will be removed from the view and auto-marked as read.
