This is how it looks on my end. Regardless wherever it's ipadOS, MacOS, Android or Windows https://snipboard.io/sYOVin.jpg

Weird. It’s infinite scroll on mine. iPad and Mac.

Are you sure you've set it to homepage? The other categories work for me too. The homepage one is the only one that only really worked for the last 24h

I browse HN from https://hckrnews.com/ It's chronological.

The homepage only works for the current day however. It sadly doesn't just accrue the entries like it does in the 10-50% categories

My hckrnews mashup lets you browse to a specific date: https://hw.leftium.com/#/date/2010.06.09

(That seems to be the first date data is available for)

I default to the all filter.

Never used any of the other filters. Maybe that’s why.

All does everything I want.

The value of HN lies in its community, which you won't — most probably — be ever able to reproduce.

After almost fifteen years of skimming once a day or two through the comments on the topics that interest me most, I am still amazed by the wide of range of old-and-new school engineers of all trade who share their experience and opinions. This is invaluable and does not necessarily need any fancy UI.

The single biggest problem I have is finding an article again at a later time. Even if one remembers the item or list number at the time of viewing (which I don't unless I take special note) that number will change almost immediately, a day or two later the article can be buried many pages down or have disappeared altogether. Then there's the problem of remembering the story's title so one can search for it. Say, sev…

Hmm. Perhaps that's a solution, I'll give it a try. Thanks.

2 days late, but creator here -- this is as designed.

Every entry on hckrnews has hit the homepage, so 'all' is exactly that. The current homepage filter is simply a filter to show what is presently on the homepage of news.ycombinator.com.

But this is not the first time someone has been confused about the homepage filter, so I could probably explain that better somehow.
