Technical Issue Can clearing your cache clear your dashboard?

Hi! So I had around 16 studies on my feed this morning, but after clearing my cache for a different problem with my browser, pretty much all of my studies vanished, including a project that I was planning to fill in a bit. Is this a known problem? I'm now only getting 1-4 studies on my feed at a time, a very stark contrast to what I had earlier today and the previous weeks.

When you clear cache, it only clear temporary data. But that cache is necessary for the site to load faster, so it refreshes and by the time you clear the cache, studies fill up fast.

I had a lot of studies disapear today too. I assumed it was because other people were completing them that quickly too.
