Description

This is not a common occurrence but it does happen. Also, the groups of 3 blogs are visible once every 7 posts, slowing down loading of the discover feed.

I'm also not sure what kind of purpose those recommendation serve. Make people stop browsing the discover feed?

Research direction

Start by locating the Discover feed entry point and the logic that inserts groups of three blog recommendations, then reproduce the behavior described in the issue. Clarify the intended recommendation purpose and frequency with maintainers; done means the feed no longer shows excessive blogs without posts and its loading behavior is acceptable.
