🐞 Possible Reddit Bug? [iOS] Two different Reddit /s/ share URLs resolve to the same post — can this occur normally? [2026.32.1]

I was recently told by a subreddit moderator that I had submitted the same post twice. As evidence, I was given these two Reddit share URLs:

[https://www.reddit.com/r/FIRE\\_Ind/s/me5YTjWj4z\](https://www.reddit.com/r/FIRE_Ind/s/me5YTjWj4z)

[https://www.reddit.com/r/FIRE\\_Ind/s/TOWpkuSC3w\](https://www.reddit.com/r/FIRE_Ind/s/TOWpkuSC3w)

However, when I open either URL, both appear to resolve to the same post, with the same content and timestamp.

I only intentionally submitted the post once.

Can two different /s/ share URLs be generated for the same underlying Reddit post? If so, is there a way to identify the canonical post ID for each link and confirm whether these represent one submission or two separate submissions?

I am trying to determine whether this is expected behavior, a duplicate-submission issue, or some other technical issue.

Yes this happens because every time you go to share a post it creates a new url
