Newsfeed on Web not showing

Just today the newsfeed has stopped working on the web, it will flash for a second but then be blank. Mobile app works normal.  Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

  • I couldn’t reproduce the issue after testing in Edge, Chrome, and Firefox. Try opening the newsfeed in a browser you don’t normally use, or test it in Incognito/Private mode. If it works there, that usually points to cached data or an extension interfering, so clearing your browser cache or disabling extensions would be the next step.

  • I can confirm the news feed not working since about a week now. 
    Some extra info:

    • As I start the newsfeed it builds like ussual but turns blank at the last moment.
    • It does NOT happen when there are activities with only a map or no map at all (or may be no picture avatar). As soon as I scroll down and a activity with pictures (or possibly the Garmin extra watchface picture or a picture avatar)  starts to appear the feed part op the page turns blank.
      (trouble shooting is a bit hard since it relies on which activity is in view and the filter option disappears as the feed turns blank)
    • I see this behaviour on Edge, Chrome and Firefox (and in incognito mode) on WIndows, ChromeOS and Linux and it is consistent and reproducible.
    • This is the console output. The last three items appear when the feed blanks

  • Over the weekend I replicated the behavior over multiple machines and multiple browsers as well.  However, this morning it appears to be working again!

  • You are correct :-)  It looks like it is fixed!
    Scrolling down to older activities still triggers a blank feed, but the recent activities now show as they should do.. 

    (Seems like the bahaviour I desribed yesterday was the result of the feed just being fixed and had nothing to do with pictures or avatars :-) ) 

  • Same, tried 2 browsers, disabling any blockers, etc. still blank.

  • It has to do with activities that show a map. For example I can now open it because the ppl on my news feed happen to either upload photos or do activities without gps (like yoga or strength). Once you start scrolling down and activities that have navigation should load the page just goes blank and shows nothing (the central page, the menu and the rest still work as intended). In the developer tools I get a lot of exceptions on the JS side that have to do with Leaflet.

    Update: As per Claude and passing the exceptions:

    Common causes:

    • A map child component (marker, popup, layer control, etc.) is rendered in the DOM tree but not actually nested inside <MapContainer>...</MapContainer> — maybe it's rendered via a portal, a separate route, or conditionally before the map mounts.
    • The map component tries to render before <MapContainer> has finished mounting (e.g., a race condition tied to that fetchMapPreferences call in the trace — the data comes back and something tries to render a child of the map before the map itself exists).
    • A refactor moved a component out of the <MapContainer> tree but left it using Leaflet hooks.

    Looking at the trace, this fires right after fetchMapPreferences resolves. It's during page navigation to the "newsfeed" page (Window.App.NewsFeedPage), so it looks like a map-related widget on that feed is trying to render without being wrapped correctly, possibly because of how/when the feed data loads relative to the map mounting.

  • Hello  could you provide a screenshot from developer tools on your Mac? Does this occur regardless of browser and in an incognito window as well?

  • Same issue two different PCs. News feed displays then after a fraction of a second the window goes blank. Mobile seems to be OK but extremely slow loading. I have a screenshot video but not sure how to share here.
