Explore/Home Feed not updating for 5+ days — account numuly #199883
🏷️ Discussion TypeQuestion 💬 Feature/Topic AreaCode Search and Navigation BodyProblemSince approximately June 17/18, 2026, the GitHub Home Feed (both "For you" and "Following" tabs) and Explore page have stopped showing new content. The feed remains static, displaying the same old recommendations and starred-repo activity. Affected platforms:
Account
Steps already taken (none resolved)
Additional contextEverything else (Issues, PRs, notifications, repo pages) works normally. The issue appears to be account-level (algorithm/feed service), not network or authentication related. Expected: Restore normal Home Feed / Explore content refresh for account numuly. |

Thanks for the detailed analysis. I ran the tests you suggested via CLI: Test 1 — Frozen vs stale: Test 2 — For you vs Following:
Test 3 — New starred repo: Test 4 — Second account: Additional observation: the feed contains only release events — no star, push, fork, issue, or PR events. A healthy feed should mix event types. This suggests either the event aggregation layer is filtering out non-release events, or the personalization pipeline is not running for this account. Account: numuly |

Same here, no updates since June 17 for me. Here's some additional discussions on the topic: |

Quick data point: AntonPalmqvist and I (numuly) both have the exact same freeze date — June 17. That's hard to explain as coincidental account-level issues. Looks like a backend regression affecting a batch of accounts since mid-June. |
|
Mine also seems to have frozen the Home Feed on June 17. The last two entries are both repositories I follow that have had multiple Releases since then but nothing is showing in my Feed. |
|
The latest release shown in my feed was also June 17. |
|
I'm frozen at June 17 as well. I know for sure many of the projects I've starred have had releases since then. |
|
My feed has also been frozen since June 17. I manually checked most of the active repos and their newest releases and activities have not showed up |
|
Same case. The home feed not updating until now. |
|
Same here. My dashboard feed has been completely frozen. But only some updates from people I follow are showing up. No new releases or other activities are updating at all. Hope this gets fixed soon |
|
Update: GitHub Support has confirmed that this is a known issue affecting multiple users. The problem is currently under investigation, and my report has been added to the existing internal tracking ticket. GitHub is actively working on it and will share updates when available. |

Thanks for your patience everyone! This issue is now resolved. You should now see most activity appearing in your feed as expected. If things still look slightly delayed, it should clear up shortly. ❤️ |

An Explore or Home Feed failing to update for 5+ days is typically tied to cached data corruption, a corrupted login session, or a temporary account restriction. |
