Abstract
A method of reducing duplications of content items across multiple content item lists presented to a user is disclosed. A first set of content items is received. It is detected that the first set of content items was communicated for presentation to a user in a first list. A second set of content items is received. It is determined that the second set of content items includes a duplicate content item, the duplicate content item being a content item that was included in the first set of content items. Based on a satisfaction of an omission criterion, an indication is provided that the content item is to be omitted from the second set of content items before the second set of content items is communicated for presentation to the user in a second list.
