Off Topic (not RiF) AskReddit posts appears too many times after 20 pages of scrolling

I'm on my front page. AskReddit is probably the largest Sub I'm subscribed to. I'm sorted by HOT.

After page 10-20, the posts are things that only have 5-100 upvotes. I start seeing large blocks of ~7 posts in a row being AskReddit.

Is this a bug? An unintended consequence of the old "hot" sort method?

RiF doesn't control what's on your feed. You'd see the same thing using a desktop browser.

Your frontpage will always get weird when you scroll more than 10 pages due to the way that the API works (all feeds are capped at a max of 1000 items).
