Cover for Call for DEV Contributors: Posts on front page do not load until scrolled down 🐛

In the spirit of Hacktoberfest, I'll be regularly highlighting issues in the DEV repo that we could use some help with.

The issue I'd like to highlight today is a tricky bug we haven't been able to sort out. We've had many reports from logged in users that their DEV home feed is not loading properly:

Posts on front page do not load until scrolled down #1805

When going to the home page, sometimes posts under the first post do not load until you scroll down. The page simply hangs and looks like this: image 1

This seems to happen on Windows 10, Chrome. Possibly related extension is uBlock Origin.

I think that we load the posts with Algolia, so there might be some JS that is triggered by scrolling. Not 100% sure though.

Any additional eyes would be greatly appreciated here.
