Look, I don’t want to argue for the sake of arguing but this is what I mean. Today I made two posts and within 10-13 minutes the posts made it to the top of the page (with “hot” being the sorting setting). One post got no upvotes and the other one only got one.

Yes, I know that but eventually the new posts used to show up at the top of the page after 1-5 minutes.

Now, new posts don’t show up at the top even after 30 minutes.

They did get to the top up until late last week

I use “hot” as my default sort setting.

Everything was fine until Thursday or Friday of last week.

The sorting setting isn’t the problem.

Thanks, this problem appeared randomly for me and also went away randomly.

I was not using it while recording this video.

Tell me about it, it took me a long time to get out of google’s ecosystem. As cliche as it sounds, you have to do it one step at a time

I’m happy that syncing works for you but privacy is very important to me so I don’t want to upload my data to someone else’s server(s).

I’m going to experiment with uninstalling flatpak firefox completely and reinstalling it to see if it’ll fix the issue.

If that doesn’t work, I’ll try using firefox downloaded & installed with apt.

That’s the problem, when I go to about:profiles, Firefox says that the root directories for the two profiles are:

• profile1 = /home/mario/.mozilla/firefox/ctd2ygzm.profile1
• profile 2 = /home/haque1/.mozilla/firefox/fk2o00h5.profile2

But I can’t find the directories for either of these profiles in /home/mario/.mozilla/firefox/

I have enabled the “Show hidden files” option in Thunar and I have even launched it as root from the terminal (sudo thunar) and I still can’t find these profile directories.

Interesting, I have never tried this before.

I’ll try out your solution and get back to you.

Thanks

For me sites like YouTube, Rumble, Odysee, and Bitchute work but unfortunately this version of flatpak Firefox is giving me problems.

It uses Google’s Chromium engine, that’s the problem.

I appreciate your recommendation but I’m boycotting Google and as much of its tech as possible—that’s why I was using Firefox.

I get that but up until this week, this wasn’t a problem—posts used to show up at the top of the page within 3-5 minutes. Today it took two hours.

The posts eventually did show up at the top after two hours and receiving 8 or 9 upvotes.

This delay wasn’t always there. Just last week, the posts would show up at the top after 3-5 minutes.
