[issue] Have to load my profile before posts will load (midwest.social)

First, if this is not the right community for this I apologize.

I don't know if anybody else on midwest.social has been experiencing this issue but I wanted to let someone know about it. If I'm browsing via desktop browser or Voyager and then stop for a significant amount of time (I haven't tried to dial this in; the web dev part of me expects it to happen with as little as 15 min inactivity, but I've really only noted it after an hour or more of inactivity). If I want to refresh and see the latest posts, it fails to load them. Doesn't matter how many times I refresh, nada. Sometimes logging in and out helps but definitely a minority of tries. What almost always works, though, is loading my profile first. If I do that and then go back to home I'll then get an updated list of posts.

I use jerboa and sometimes when the server is slow I get a message saying my profile isn't in a ready state and I can't upvote stuff. Usually I close the app and reopen it. Not sure why it would do that on the browser though.

It seems like a caching issue possibly mixed with a race condition to me
