I haven't personally seen that behavior, but it should be looked into

This has happened to me before, especially on high latency networks (e.g. mobile data).

The issue is that there is no visual response when posting a response, so the user inadvertently taps the post button multiple times. Since it seems like replies are sent in the background, why not return to the thread and show a toast once the reply has been posted?

Added to our 2.2.0 milestone, and will look into it for the next patch of enhancements! I like the idea of showing a toast and returning to the thread view, and there's also the possibility of implementing a sort of lock so that a post can't be submitted multiple times.

This will go hand in hand with other comments issues like #54
