    hmmm… are we checking the same page r/popular? normally there is a new post every X minutes and now in the main page there are several >8h posts… I think is definitely noticeable and obvious (not to mention the three posts with information about the protest on very popular subreddits)

    maybe you were expecting an empty page? that will never happen, if that would happen reddit admins would reopen subs or even upload random memes to new subs to make it “not empty”

    or maybe reddit has local content and we are seeing different r/popular, I’m in Europe

      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.
