It's chronological.

The homepage only works for the current day however. It sadly doesn't just accrue the entries like it does in the 10-50% categories

Not sure what you mean. It spans multiple days, it’s invite scroll.

This is how it looks on my end. Regardless wherever it's ipadOS, MacOS, Android or Windows

Weird. It’s infinite scroll on mine. iPad and Mac.

Are you sure you've set it to homepage? The other categories work for me too. The homepage one is the only one that only really worked for the last 24h

I default to the all filter.

Never used any of the other filters. Maybe that’s why.

All does everything I want.

JS blocking?

Edit: Nope. I get the same thing when I use the "homepage" tab/filter.

My hckrnews mashup lets you browse to a specific date: https://hw.leftium.com/#/date/2010.06.09

(That seems to be the first date data is available for)

I'm glad I mentioned this, it seems there are multiple solutions. Thanks.

2 days late, but creator here -- this is as designed.

Every entry on hckrnews has hit the homepage, so 'all' is exactly that. The current homepage filter is simply a filter to show what is presently on the homepage of news.ycombinator.com.

But this is not the first time someone has been confused about the homepage filter, so I could probably explain that better somehow.

Hmm. Perhaps that's a solution, I'll give it a try. Thanks.
