Unable to Load Activity Feed on GitHub Home Page

Bug

Body

I am currently unable to load the activity feed on the main page across multiple platforms and mobile devices. The error persists regardless of the environment used.

I have systematically tested all recommended troubleshooting methods, including but not limited to:

• Clearing cache and browsing history.
• Updating my browser to the latest version.
• Switching browsers (tested on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge).
• Accessing GitHub in incognito/private browsing mode.
• Disabling browser extensions and ad-blockers.

Console Error Logs

When inspecting the developer console, I noticed the following errors:

1. Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) for https://github.com/conduit/for_you_feed.
2. Uncaught (in promise) Error: A listener indicated an asynchronous response by returning true, but the message channel closed before a response was received.

I kindly request any assistance in diagnosing and resolving this issue.

Welcome to the GitHub Community, @jonathanlaang we're happy you're here! You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting your question(s) in the applicable category and are explicit about what your project entails--giving a few more details might help someone give you a nudge in the right direction. I've gone ahead and moved it for you. Good luck!

Update:
I did also conducted an additional test by logging into a friend's GitHub account on the same device and browser where I experienced the issue. Interestingly, their account loaded the activity feed without any problems. This suggests that the issue is specific to my account and not related to hardware or browser configuration.

This further reinforces my belief that the root cause might lie on GitHub's end.

If there are any account-specific diagnostics or checks that can be performed, I would greatly appreciate guidance on how to proceed.

Until Github fixes this critically broken part of their app, for those who are growing weary of not being able to keep up with recent releases for starred repositories, I have created a service that does just that.

It is available here: https://kieranp.github.io/Github-Releases-Feed/

The service is open sourced under GPLv3 here: https://github.com/KieranP/Github-Releases-Feed

Hope this is useful to others. If you find it useful, I feel free to star the repo :-)

Hi @jonathanlaang ,

Thank you for taking the time to report this.

The Feed team is aware of this issue and while we can’t guarantee immediate action on every piece of feedback, the absence of an update doesn't mean it isn't being worked on- it might simply be that we are unable to share details about work that isn't ready for release.

We appreciate your patience and we will update the Community as soon as we can!
