Opening the app sometimes results in an empty apps list

This has happened to me before. I do gradle installDebug, open F-Droid and I'm in What's New with zero apps. I select another category, go back to What's New and the apps appear again.

I thought this was something weird I was doing or something with my system, so I thought nothing of it. Then I saw this tweet:

So it definitely is some bug in F-Droid.
