Where The Hell Are The People I Follow on My Homepage?

Is Medium trying to sink its writers or what?

For the past week or so everyone I follow is missing from the top of my feed, what is the bright idea here?

I am ok with most of the changes Medium had made recently, but am I the only one whose little bubbleheads have gone missing from the top of my homepage?

I rely on the profile pictures of writers I follow to remind me when my faves have published, and for some reason, most of them are not showing up in my following feed. Please fix this, it's incredibly annoying and writers are no doubt missing reads because of it!

For a few days, the writers would disappear then reappear at the top of my feed, so maybe this is temporary? I hope so, otherwise Medium just made their site a hell of a lot less user-friendly! Is this just me or is anyone else missing this feature?

I appreciate you can subscribe to people’s stories but it’s far less efficient than having the profile pic bubbles at the top of the feed. It also makes it more difficult to remember new people you follow without this feature. I hope it’s not permanent. Apologies if I have been missing reads, this sucks!
