After switching over to throwaway accounts the other day, we are seeing randomness in items injected into feeds which disrupts the hash for changes. My only observation is who to follow injected at random 1-3 times in timelines.

These are happening when using legit accounts. Never seen on guest accounts obviously as guests can't follow users. I know nitter is dead but for the rest of us, I'm curious if there's something to look at to filter the raw feed.

I looked at this briefly and this is beyond rss.nimf.

Can you clarify or explain further ?

@TechFanTheo Yes. I was just coming back to this today. Turns out after a few days the feeds righted themselves.

The feeds would be incomplete or interrupted by something

The parser even shows startsWith("tweet"): so these other elements should not have shown up. So I'm not sure how the feeds where wrongly interpreted.

Could have been the total items changing in the page itself.

I cannot put my finger on what happened but it was definitely an issue. Only takeaway is, it takes new accounts a few days to not be manipulated.

Closing this as it doesn't seem to be an issue anymore.
