I clicked on home a few times by accident

You will. That's how social media algorithms work they try to throw new stuff at you to keep you on the site so they can charge for views of ads.

Yeah but if you look closely you might find it's the same posts in a different order. I will intentionally click on home multiple times just to get different posts, but often all it does is shuffle the posts.

Yea it tries to feed you something fresh when you do that but a lot of the same stuff.

Also after you click home is you look down there is a list of options with NEW being one…its supposed to reload with the latest posts

create another profile and see what happens with the feed.
