Ask HN: Is Twitter's feed down?

3 points by crabasa ↗ HN
The most recent tweet I see in my feed is 43 minutes old. No amount of refreshing or reloading the client helps.

This behavior is identical across both the iOS and mobile web clients.

Check if you've been "helpfully" set to "top tweets" vs. all tweets, in the settings. Algorithms are great!

I have that problem solved [1] but I've only had 10 new tweets in my timeline in the last couple of hours.

The default text size also got smaller and changes to text size and colour customisation aren't getting persisted, so I assume something's busted.

Nope, I'm on "Latest Tweets".

I follow over 2k accounts, so the odds of the most recent tweet being 45+ minutes old is low.

I also double-checked some of the people I am following, and indeed their most recent tweets are not showing up in my home timeline.

This is happening across all my devices (mobile & PC), so I assume it must be an issue with their infra that is limited to a subset of their users. Possible an issue with a cluster?
