I browse through a privacy frontend (libreddit), but I’ve never really seen new posts constantly on /r/popular, usually after maybe 30 minutes to an hour.
I definitely wasn’t expecting an empty page, but I was expecting it to be… different, but it isn’t really, it’s just all the same memes / politics posts that I’m used to seeing.
to be fair, when I say minutes I meant that I used to check out r/popular several times a day, not every minute, so 30 mins is perfectly possible. Normally I used to see “new content” every time, and quite a few posts, today doesn’t seem to “move” that much, although I haven’t make a very thorough study, I just woke up 1h ago and checked twice after reading your comments.
Also, most of it is super old (>8h) and the content is quite different, normally there are a lot of “everything” (“good” and “bad”), but today seems like everything is in the “negative” side (AITA, wcgw, dankmemes…) and some other subs that I have never seen. (quoting here since good and bad is very subjective)
But we may have different perceptions and that is fine.
I think you’re right, it’s been a couple of hours now and nothing has moved, I’ve also gone into some of the reddits still open and they’re all restricted, so really there’s no content.
I jumped the gun a bit there, now it’s time to try and avoid the site indefinitely.
