My main midwest.social stream is current full of ads for guns and gun parts. Did I do something wrong?

Looks like the bug where the auto refresh will spam out the latests posts from a single community after sitting on the page for a few minutes with the sort being hot, or active or sometimes one day.

It wasn't a bug - it was the natural result of my batching of posting the curated set from the past few hours. It just happened to look a lot like those batched updates from auto refresh.
