The "Other Discussions" tab that showed up on submissions to show other subs that have submitted the article/post/pics/story hasn't been working for the last few days.

This tab seems to help spread submissions by allowing different subs with a specific focus to see the same submission as other subs.

This question has been brought up recently in these posts:

The Admin said its been "temporarily disabled" b/c it was causing issues.

We've temporarily disabled (since yesterday) the "other discussions" tab on comments pages because it was causing site issues.

However, I'm wondering if this is being intentionally done to coincide with the influx of stories about the immigration wave occurring in Europe. Maybe it's just a coincidence.

But we already know and have seen a lot of big subs censoring news about the negative impacts of the immigration. Well, it seems the immigration has picked up dramatically in the last week or so and of course this means there will be a lot of stories about it.

However, I'm wondering if maybe the "other discussions" has been disabled to contain stories/news/pics/videos with the "wrong narrative" in the small, fringe, niche subs that allow these submissions....preventing the spread of the story by allowing different audiences to see submissions.

I don't know, it could very well be a tech issue. But it just seems odd that this times up with the recent spike of immigration and the spike of news about it.

Anybody else wondering about this? Or have some thoughts?
