engine#2570 (closed)

Summary of Changes

The newsfeed will use the new graphql api and reduces the amount of api calls required

Testing Considerations

This change impacts a large area of the site. The entire newsfeed has been refactored to support GraphQL, the spans all tabs (Just For You, Top, Latest, Groups).

Other components that have needed to be patched include the boost rotator, in feed notices, post highlights and channel recommendations.

Post polling has been temporarily disabled.

The For You tab does not work on sandboxes, it should be fine on staging.

⚠ Please test with the flag off too ⚠
