"Activity Feed Not Loading "Uh oh! There was an error in loading the activity feed"- Error Fixable by Unchecking 'Repository Activity' Filter, but Missing Repository Updates"

Hello, everyone.

I’ve encountered an issue with the GitHub activity feed where it shows the error message "Uh oh! There was an error in loading the activity feed." After testing a few things, I found that unchecking the "Repository Activity" filter allows the feed to load successfully, but unfortunately, this removes repository-related updates, which is critical for my work.

Here’s what I’ve observed:

Issue: The activity feed doesn't load, showing the error message: "Uh oh! There was an error in loading the activity feed."
Temporary Fix: Unchecking the "Repository Activity" filter resolves the issue and lets the feed load, but repository activity disappears from the feed.
Impact: Repository updates are crucial for my workflow, and excluding them is not a viable solution.

I’ve seen that several others in the community have also reported this issue since November (a post with around 10-15 other users facing the same problem). It seems that this bug might be affecting only some users, but the problem persists for me today.

Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have a permanent fix or a workaround that doesn't exclude repository activity from the feed?

Any help or insights would be appreciated!

Thanks!
