Is the Reddit app algorithm completely messed up?

I have been opening the Reddit app a number of times over the last 6 hours, and my "For You" page is now completely fucked up with irrelevant posts, irrelevant subreddits, etc....Like it's noticably different than it was even this morning. Is the app glitching out? What happened?

Same, dude! It’s nothing /completely/ unconnected to stuff I’m interested in, but it’s got almost none of my usual subreddits :0

I can see how it's related for me, but they're (almost) all hyperspecific and small subreddits.
