After doing some research i found out that i need to clear the list that i am using each time i refresh the activity, after trying it to refresh the list at different places, the result remains the same and i have decided to give my brain a break and ask for help. The refreshing takes place on the PostDialogFragment class
i have circled the recycler view causing the issue
