[MAIN] Missing Projects from the Homepage
INFO
None of the projects on the Scratch homepage are showing except the “Projects Loved by Scratchers I’m Following”. All the words are still there (ex. “Featured Projects”) except the SDS and Curated row. This has happened to users on any device, as I've gotten reports of it appearing on phones, tablets, and computers. I myself tested this on a phone (first row) and a Mac (second row). Both times, the projects were gone.
My browser / operating system: iPhone iOS 15.8, Safari 15.6.6, No Flash version detected
My browser / operating system: MacOS Macintosh X 10.15.7, Safari 16.6, No Flash version detected
SCREENSHOTS
I took a screenshot of the front page: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1018038086/
I found other screenshots by medians, MyCollegeStudent, o97doge, roeieju, plus many more.
Many other people have created a topic concerning this bug, too. So, this bug isn’t a “bad-Internet” bug or something. It’s affecting every person every time it comes.
HISTORY
(As far as I know) the bug first started on the night of May 10th, 2024. The bug has gone away and come back multiple times.
CAUSE
The cause for this bug is unknown. The Scratch Team has not said anything since the bug occurred. One possible cause of this was thought of in this post:
In addition, former Scratch Team member Za-Chary said that:
For info on this bug and other bugs, including the notorious “My Stuff” bug, see this thread by chippysmall4.
Random edit: It’s stickied? Nice, I’ve never had one before. It seems BrilliantGamer6 asked for a sticky, so thanks!

CAUSE
The cause for this bug is unknown. The Scratch Team has not said anything since the bug occurred. One possible cause of this was thought of in this post:
(source)Someone has theorized that the API was hacked with Python, but there is no proof of that, and is unlikely. (source)
I think I may know why. This API link is the only proxy link on Scratch that uses a GET request (i.e. the only proxy link you can view with your browser), and it appears a start tag is missing. It's supposed to show the projects on the front page, but right now it's glitched. This might not be the cause, but there's a chance it is.
In addition, former Scratch Team member Za-Chary said that:
(source)Another theory is that the recent solar flare is malfunctioning the front page, but this was deemed unlikely by Za-Chary. (source)
This bug has happened in the past before and generally occurs as an unintentional side effect to standard website maintenance. I don't know the full details, but this is at least what I understand.
For info on this bug and other bugs, including the notorious “My Stuff” bug, see this thread by chippysmall4.

Also, reported to be stickied
Edit later: This has been fixed for me, although I'm not sure if this is fixed for everyone else.

A TL;DR of that link is that a signature is text that is added automatically to every post I make; you're allowed to advertise and do whatever you want in it as long as it follows the Community Guidelines.

The aesthetic community is discovering the forums?!?!?!?!?
I feel by next year we wont have the forums anymore, I'm not joking.
How did you find out about the Discussion Forums?
Try out LibreKitten, my TurboWarp mod.
I found this masterpiece of a post:
(#7)Is that the case though? Is it really? Or is it just a figment of your imagination? What if scratch never existed, and you’re just hallucinating? All of these people you’ve met, they might not be anything more than a figment of your imagination? And now that you know this, you have to ask yourself the question: is scratch real? Are you truly on an online platform named scratch? Or are you dreaming, seeing this so-called “programming for kids platform” in a completely different way from everybody else? How can you fully be sure you’re not hallucinating? How can you be so sure that there is a real thing called scratch?This is Scratch, not Snap. I think it’s snap!.

Also, by the way, the “Projects Curated by (user)” section is also missing.

Fun_Cupcake_i81: What, were you expecting not to see the utc - 12 thing again? THE UTC - 12 THIGN ALWAYS RETURNS. ALWAYS.
medians: I knew it would happen. I was the one who started it last year.
Fun_Cupcake_i81: Well then if you didn't want it back maybe you need to time travel to last year and fix that
Oh wait if you could time travel I think we all know exactly when you would go-
user1: That picture is from 2.0. Now he’s at my house and is my pet.
user2: But this is medians we're talking about, so “from 2.0” can mean the same thing as “from five seconds ago”.

got this as well. i signed out and it still persisted, plus i checked all my devices and for each it was the same error, so it's not an account thing. however, my friend said he wasn't experiencing the same issue. perhaps it's location based? i'm in central us, and he is in hawaii. can't think of anything else, though.
