Releases don't show up in Explore Activity feed in the GitHub mobile app (Android)

[schutzelaars]

Since a month or so, the releases and discussions from my starred repo's don't show up in my Explore Activity feed. I checked the filters. Did something change, or is there something wrong? I only get the activities from the people I follow.

[Mickychen00]

Same phenomenon, even in browser side.

[schutzelaars]

It seems to be working again.

[Mickychen00]

Hi, unfortunately for me it doesn't work until now. The latest activity is 9 days ago. And I am sure that I choose all in the filter.

[schutzelaars]

Reopened the discussion for you.

[schutzelaars]

It just stopped working for me too on mobile.. But after I updated the filters inside the homepage dashboard (in the browser), it worked again.

[Mickychen00]

Hi! Thanks for your help. I find there seems to be an auto-close recently by Github for "Include events from starred repositories." After checking it, it works again.

So maybe we can close this issue.

I have the same issue, sometimes on one device they show up, but since some time, no releases were shown in my feed at all.

[placidic]

Can confirm, updating the filters solved this issues for me as well! Thanks!

[hundehausen]

@Maxitendo1 thank you, this worked for one day and now it doesn't work anymore at all. I miss the releases in my feed.

@hundehausen @Nevarro Just found a fix for this issue. I was having the same problem. Go to your browser https://github.com/ -> Home -> Filters -> Scroll down -> Check: Include events from starred repositories

@Maxitendo1 Thank you! I was searching everywhere for a solution and finally found your fix

Thank you very much❤️❤️❤️, it worked for me, on the web and the application

So when will this issue eventually be solved?

[diveshthapa]

is this happing in some phone or specific mobile device or specific versions?

[hundehausen]

It's happening on all of my devices, but not always at the same time. Sometimes the GitHub App on my iPhone shows them, but the webbrowser does not.

[Abhay3333]

same mine its been 1 week in mobile app and web browser it is not showing any feed even using filter option in homepage.

[hundehausen]

Still happening. Any GitHub developer reading this?

[astudentinearth]

I'm having the same issue even though my filters are set correctly, not a single release is in my feed. I don't see updates from people I follow either. That's been going on for the last few days. Both mobile and web are affected in my case.

[bobhigs]

I've also been having this issue for literal months. The only filters I have on is "Releases" and "Include events from starred repositories" and it's showing me nothing even though there have been several releases of my starred repos in the last few hours. The feed seems to randomly decide multiple times and day to start and stop working. Typically when it actually works I take a moment to scroll through a few pages so their loaded in case it just breaks again.

Usually I can fix this by toggling a random combination of filters off and on, although that doesn't even always fix it. That's been the case for a few days now - the page is just literally showing nothing. This is true on both the website and mobile app. If I toggle other filters on, I do see their results, but never releases.

[hundehausen]

This is the perfect description for the error. It's going on since months and gotten worse and worse, until now it doesn't work at all, not even with the trick of the filters.

[AliNouhpisheh]

Have you tried a (VPN)?

[bobhigs]

@AliNouhpisheh A VPN is a good idea that I should have probably considered. I am in fact already using a VPN on both devices I tested on. I turned it off and messed around with the feed configuration a bit and still couldn't get it to update.

[hundehausen]

I had no luck with VPN either.

[astudentinearth]

Same story, VPN didn't seem to change anything. It's as if the feed shows releases when it feels like doing so.

[hundehausen]

Today I also submitted I bug report. I suggest you guys to do the same, especially with @bobhigs perfect description.

[achtchaern]

Same issue. It has been occurring for several months, but in the last few days, it got way more often and is harder to get around (by randomly toggling filters). Created a bug report. I'm on desktop btw.
