Okay, I never had that happen to me. I experienced long threads hosted on Pleroma that broke (didn't show up in timeline anymore), but that problem was also on web. If you want, you could open a ticket, preferably with example, so Tom could look into this. 
@[email protected] That's right, the approach is inspired by Google News and its "river of news" rather than like an email reader. There was an article recently about how that design creates "phantom obligation" and a form of FOMO: https://www.terrygodier.com/phantom-obligation Articles marked "Up" are kept indefinitely, filtered or "Down" articles have their contents purged after 2 weeks to free up disk space. But otherwise, yes, the point of flagging an article is to bump up the feed SNR as a measure of quality, and to keep them for future reference in lieu of a bookrmarking service like the late del.icio.us.
