The answer, with the useful detail.

A category can contain entries while the current view hides them. Search text, favorites-only mode, language filters and hidden-group settings can all reduce what appears on screen. Clear the browsing filters before treating an empty category as a failed account import or missing subscription entitlement.

Check the current view state

A search term can remain active after moving between categories. A favorites filter can show nothing in a group where no favorites were saved. Look for visible filter indicators and return to an unfiltered full-list view.

Compare another category

If other groups display normally, the issue may be limited to one source category or local rule. If every group is empty, inspect import status as well. The scope helps choose between browsing cleanup and source diagnosis.

Avoid destructive resets

Clearing all app data can remove accounts and organization that were working. Use the smallest reversible view change first. If the source truly returns no entries for the category, report that specific group through support.

An example to work through

A Sport group can appear empty while a lingering search for “news” is active. Removing the search can restore the list without touching the account.
