Display newly added chapters on the "Follows" tab on the homepage

Currently on the home page, under the "Latest updates" section of the home page (both "All" and "Follows tab, though I think most people would be more concerned about series they are following), when a series is updated, it will show up there and the latest chapter will be highlighted.

When multiple chapters are uploaded though, it will still only highlight the latest chapter. This could lead to ppl skipping chapters, and I think many people have learned to go to the series page first before going straight to the reader.

I think this can be improved to display all the newly added chapters. I think it would result in a much better user experience.

And it would also be flooded out when somebody does a mass upload. Like one albeit porn manhua just uploaded 45 chapters.

You can check https://mangadex.org/updates

The homepage used to be like that but mass uploads would flood it with old releases, so we changed it like this. On the whole, groups tend to only upload 1 chapter at a time now there isn't much backlog to upload.

does mass upload happen that often nowadays for that to be a concern? I was thinking of more about the "Follow" tab, because:

- Since people are already following it, theres less chances of it being a newly uploaded series, so not as much chapters flood of old releases.
- Even when it does, only people already following the series would see it, so it wouldn't drown too much information.

Is there anyway to filter that page to series that you follow?

Yea, I remember that time. It was rather annoying, but is that still much of an issue nowadays since the site is more matures, and I'd guess not as much old series being uploaded en-masse nowadays?

And on there being only 1 chapter 1 updates most of the time, thats true, and thats the thing that makes this whole thing more annoying. People would assume the update would only include 1 chapter, but every now and then, it turns more than 1 chapter was uploaded. People ended up reading the latest chapter, getting confused, and turns out they are skipping a chapter without realizing it.

I don't know if it was because of scanlators catching up on releases, on theres been double releases from the source, but some of the popular series that I followed that "often" had this issue includes Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu, Beastars, or Tonikaku Cawaii.

Now, when I say often, its not actually that often, but I've been caught off-guard often enough that I've learned to check the series page to be sure I'm not missing anything.
