Thanks for creating this @RoySmith ! We do not currently have a card for this. Our feed is made up of things from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. DYK is a good candidate for something we show in the app, but we will need to explore how to scrape this over different languages.

BTW, I'm told the same issue exists on the IOS app. I haven't confirmed that, but if it's true, then please feel free to change the title of this ticket to something more generic.
