Why won’t new series show up on mobile?

Hi, I’m generally new to Tapas, so I don’t know if this is some widely known thing, or a problem only I’m having. But I’ve noticed this weird inconsistency between the desktop and the mobile app versions of Tapas. I recently uploaded the first episode of my new series onto the website, but when I went to the app, sorted by “all genres”, then sorted by “fresh”, my comic wasn’t there. Then I went to the desktop version, did the exact same thing, and my comic WAS there.
This isn’t just me, I noticed a lot of other brand new series with little views also weren’t showing up on the mobile version, despite showing up on desktop. What’s the deal? Is there some verification process before the comic can appear on the app? Do I need to have multiple episodes out first? What’s going on?

"Fresh" is generally used to describe new series, and it's mostly at random when you sort into it. Maybe one day your series will be on it and the other day it won't. There's a lot of RNG. My series is sometimes on fresh even though it's been out for about a month.
Hope this helps.

You need to have 150 subscribers for your series to show on the fresh section in the app. Something to do with spam prevention maybe..

No, you don't. I don't know what's the threshold and if it exists, but it's definitely less than 150 subs (I definitely saw mine there with 87 subs at the time, also it's in Fresh now and I still don't have 150 on this comic even). So maybe like... 10-50 subs threshold.
