"My activity" is blank and my activity isn't showing up on Friend Activity feed.

So I've noticed for a while that my general Steam activity hasn't been showing up in the general friend activity feed. When I select 'My activity' it's blank.

my purchases mostly don't show up (one did)
my recent achievements don't show up
my uploaded media isn't showing up

I just tried uploading a screenshot, and getting an achievement, and neither have shown up. This might have been going on for a few months, as I don't really keep track, but I've noticed it more frequently of late.

My privacy settings are 'public'. I've cleared web cache from Steam app.

Other people have had this problem, as well. Yet no solution has been found.

Same problem for me for at least the past week.

It happend last time, when the new chat was released. And this time, when the new client version was released.
Very poor, that this is not fixed.

I found a possible solution, elsewhere.

Under Profile -> Edit Profile -> My Privacy Settings, uncheck "Always keep my total playtime private even if users can see my game details."

That worked for me. Perhaps check it and uncheck it, but my recent activity made a comeback soon afterwards.

I tried that, Felstaff, after reading your post, but 24 hours or so later, still nothing in My Activity.

Response from Steam "Support": "I am sorry, but I do not have a fix for you at this time."

Worked like a charm.

Also have a problem with this now and it is annoying. If anybody from Valve/Steam is looking at this please fix this because this is just annoying seriously.

OK got something else to say about this that is very weird. Only Plague Inc. Evolved has activity show up in the activity field on the game page when I look at it in the game library every other game doesn't and now that I think about it Plague Inc. Evolved was just updated like yesterday or recently so who knows. Still annoying hope this gets fixed like soon ASAP.

I have this in any chromium browser (and steam himself).
Turned on/off all the settings of activity - it worked, but almost the entire history of my activity was removed from the feed...
