It's happening to me as well. I've never had this problem before, but today it seems every refresh has one or two missing. It could be partly because the 'random' characters aren't exactly random (They tend to put characters with the same tags/designers next to each other) Truthfully, I don't know what the problem is outside of that, just know that you aren't the only person this is happening to!
It's the fourth time my random shows up like this, with a character missing. Is it like this for everyone? D:
@giiuls I've been seeing those three characters (only) in the random section for the last 7 hours or so
As far as I know it's due to you blocking someone, them blocking you, or you've blocked the character
Update: Definitely confirmed this is a bug, as it's happening to my featured characters as well (People you are subbed to) Obviously I'm not blocked by those I'm subbed to, so I'm a little confused. I'd send in a ticket, but it feels like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic at this point, as there's much more important tickets that should be prioritized.
i originally assumed it was the random function picking out privated/hidden characters by mistake but by the time it started happening w/ every refresh (and after checking w friends to see if they were seeing it too) i definitely started to suspect it was a bug as well..i do hope it gets fixed soon mostly bc it bothers me like a puzzle missing a single piece LOL
