I have recently been having an issue where filters are applied, not by me, while I'm browsing in Connect. Entire communities are showing no posts with the message, "Empty because all posts are being filtered". There are no filters turned on in the settings that I can see. Many comments are also hidden due to filters, including my own. I have checked in using the browser interface and everything is normal there.
Is there a setting I am missing, or do I have another issue with the app?
Edit: Issue solved, apparently I had blocked lemmy.world though I'm not sure how.
Have you checked your block list? I believe someone else recently discovered they accidentally blocked an entire instance, or something along those lines.
This was actually the answer. I hadn't manually blocked it to my knowledge, but lemmy.world was on the list along with a news instance and one other. No clue why, but thanks for the comment.
