There is a compatibility issue with the "Modern for Hacker News. A redesigned web interface for Hacker News." browser extension (I use Firefox). If it is active, I do not see the block with related news.
I need to investigate what kind of mutations the other extension is doing to HN interface and figure out a way to be compatible with it on top of the native one.
sounds like fun. Perhaps a little too much fun. This sort of algorithmic thing keeps people on social media all day. So be aware folks this can only lose you time working.
(no shade to you, OP. Seems like a cool idea, great that it exists. Just that if there were the option to turn this off on most social media I would probably take it)
It's harsh to compare this to social media personalized feeds when it's fundamentally different.

This extension has 'manual' mode which only show the search field by default and then you get to fetch results at your command. Very much like an embedded search engine.
Its functionality is more like the book recommendations you come across on goodreads. It only shows when you visit a discussion you're interested in. The nature of this website by itself is quite different from other social media.
But I understand where you're coming from and appreciate you raising awareness.
Installed and loving it! Super off topic but do you remember what font you used in the extension cover image (e.g on the chrome extension page)? I wasn't able to identify it elsewhere and it seems right up my alley.

Can this be fixed?

I opened a GitHub issue if you're interested in following the status there: https://github.com/imdj/HNRelevant/issues/24

I think I know why it was hard to identify the font. I used two:
The larger text (Orange) is 'Space Grotesk': https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Space+Grotesk
The smaller text in black is 'Roc Grotesk'
