AllThingsTechThe issue preventing the feeds from refreshing last night and this morning have now been fixed. This was due to a bug in the update to Mastodon 4.1.5 yesterday and the awesome folks at @mastohost figured it out and got it patched this morning.
We certainly apologize for any inconveniences this might have caused and appreciate your patience during this time!
