[Feedback Wanted] Feed bug from 11/4/2024 - Feed showing user activities from users not followed.

[LiteBrite82]

Hi Community!

Thank you all for your posts and comments on the recent Feed bug. The bug was related to starred repositories, which is why we see some people saying the fix is to uncheck "Include events from starred repositories".

The Feed team has pushed an update to address the issue; please leave us feedback in this post so we can monitor its effectiveness.

Working as intended now

I'm still receiving notifications about every merged MR in NixOS/nixpkgs (which i starred) (last one 1 minute ago).
But the xy starred id-software/DOOM is gone.

Disabling “repository activity” fixes the issue for me.
this setting wasn’t there earlier.

[AlessandroMiola]

Same for me, thanks!

[haydenmarshall65]

This option did fix a lot for me but it has prevented me from seeing version updates from my starred repositories so I only see updates from users I follow instead

[eitsupi]

It seems that the spam postings disappeared for me when the repository activity was deactivated.

[Bernankez]

Now the "who followed the reponsitory" has disappeared, but my feed is flooded with MR activities, which wasn't the case before.

[thomasfire]

Same, still annoying, but I do not want to disable the activities, because I want to see if somebody releases something

[striezel]

Exactly. Merge requests are now flooding everything. This is not good, because it buries important activities like releases way down in the feed.

I guess the proper way should be to not show merge request activity in the feed, just as it has been before, and provide a way for GitHub users to opt-in for merge requests. That way most users can keep the usual feed and those who want to see the merge requests can enable them explicitly for their feed.

[LuciusChen]

I think that GitHub, as an infrastructure of the Internet, any major changes should be notified to users in advance, providing necessary switches for users to choose their actions.

[ADD-SP]

Still receiving notification of merged PR from stared repository.

[ADD-SP]

And also still receiving notification from non-followed users.

[Nahuel92]

This keeps happening for me. I still see merged PR from other people (which I don't care about) on starred repos. Please fix it and bring back my clean feed page

[Nahuel92]

It seems to be fixed now. Thanks!

[om3ga6400]

great now I can either get spammed or not get notified of new releases, such a good update

[lloydrichards]

Am also experiencing the issue with my feed being flooded with contribution to repos i've starred but from users i'm not following. As this is a thread for feedback, my expected behaviour would be to see stars/forks from users I've followed and see the releases from repos I've starred and contributions from users I've followed to repos I've starred:

graph LR
  subgraph follow
    User1
    User2
   Team1
  end
  
  subgraph star
    Repo1
  end

   
   User1 --forked-->Repo2
   User2 --starred-->Repo3
   User1 --contributed-->Repo1
  Team1 --created-->Repo4

Loading

But I shouldn't be seeing contributions from users I've not followed to help reduce the flood

[luffy-yu]

IT'S STILL HAPPENING!

[luffy-yu]

It seems not showing up now.

[forest1102]

Spammed by MR, or no notification, your choice

[om3ga6400]

fr

[imHaruuu]

but we still have another problem...

[om3ga6400]

did they finally fix it??? I'm not getting anymore bs notifcations

[lloydrichards]

same 🤞

[luffy-yu]

same

[referee1005]

I need answer to this question

[om3ga6400]

its fixed for me

[hundehausen]

I still don't see releases in my feed. But I can see other types of activities from my starred repositories.

[prymitive]

My feed is spammed with a flood of “dependabot contributed to your repository” posts, which I can’t find any way of turning off.
