I just tried that. 2 of the top 6 posts that popped up had zero comments. Within a few seconds, brand new posts (with no engagement) starting filling in from the stop.

It seems like the content algorithm is fundamentally broken right now.

I think that just got fixed in the newest version, but it'll take a bit for instances to update.

They switched from using websockets with a constant feed of new posts, to just normal http.
