Comment 1 Alexander Lohnau 2020-08-15 16:31:31 UTC 
Can confirm, installing KNS 5.72 and discover 5.19.4 made no difference.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2020-08-26 13:30:48 UTC 
Hmm, works for me right now.
Comment 3 Alexander Lohnau 2020-08-26 14:32:31 UTC 
(Just want to add that the loading works for all the individual KNS dialogs in the KCMs).
Comment 4 Patrick Silva 2020-09-17 22:20:34 UTC 
If I click on "Plasma addions", Discover lists some addons. 
But if I click on any category but "Plasma widgets", Discover gets stuck in "Still looking".

I have the same bug on Debian 11 Bullseye, fresh install. Made a topic in the Debian-forums and someone else reports the same behavior. https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=150046
