Just yesterday I hit 5d old topics when I opened Meta. I think I’ve figured out a repro and reason.
I think this happens when you scroll down in the (latest?) topic list past say, the first load more section.
- Open /latest
- Scroll to the bottom until you see the spinner
- Scroll back up, reload, and continue as normal
- If you go to Meta after a while (without closing the tab), you’ll encounter this
- If you don’t regularly scroll all the way down everyday, you’ll start seeing 5d old topics after 5 days
I managed to repro this on another device as well.
