I haven’t been able to see any releases posted by authors recently, whether on the website or in the app. It’s been several weeks now. I’m certain I’ve ticked the ‘Releases’ box on the Explore page.

This doesn't sound like expected behavior. If you've already enabled Releases in the Explore settings and it has been happening consistently for several weeks, it may be an issue with how your feed is being generated.

A few things that might help narrow it down:

Does this happen on both the GitHub website and the mobile app?
Have you tried another browser or an incognito/private window?
Do releases appear if you visit a repository's Releases page directly?
Are you following repositories or authors that have definitely published releases during this period?

If the issue occurs across multiple devices and platforms, it's less likely to be a local caching problem and more likely something GitHub staff would need to investigate.

1. This issue occurs on both the GitHub website and mobile app.
2. Tried using incognito mode, but the issue still persists.
3. Directly accessing the "Releases" page of a repository shows the release records.
4. Followed repositories or authors that definitely published a version during this period.

Thanks for confirming.

Since the issue occurs on both the website and the mobile app,it persists in an incognito window,releases are visible when visiting a repository's Releases page directly, and you're following repositories that have definitely published releases,

this doesn't seem like a browser cache or client-side issue. It sounds more like the Explore/Activity feed isn't surfacing release events as expected for your account.

At this point, it would probably require someone from GitHub to investigate whether there's an issue with the backend that generates release events or with your account's feed configuration.

I had a look into it myself, and all I had to do was click ‘Reset to default’ in the filter on the web interface; I’m not sure how it works, though. From my perspective, ‘Releases’ is always ticked.
