It should be fixed in the next update, but I agree the bug makes the site borderline unusable for now :(
I think we all understand though. The devs are working hard and they're not many of them. I don't know how I'd handle dealing with a sudden massive influx of users.
You can imagine too it wasn't an issue when there were hardly any new posts coming in. One of the many things massive scaling in a short time help reveal!
Look into the "i still don't care about cookies" extension! Makes browsing a bit more peaceful.
