Do filters carry over to desktop though? I have many communities blocked, but my filter list is empty. Seems like it'd be better to have one unified list that's cross-platform.
Unfortunately, I think this feature is app-specific since it's not something that Lemmy itself supports. I'm sure that if the feature is implemented into Lemmy proper, LJD will implement the official solution with a method to merge the preexisting filter lists.
The suggestions these guys post seem to be client blocks, so I don't think they persist on other clients. I think this is a feature that Lemmy needs to implement itself. Wonder why it doesn't exist yet since Mastodon has it.
If you go to a community there is an option to block it (different than filter). It blocks it server side, but I didnt see the option to unblock in sync.
Most of these "feature" requests posted here have been issues with lemmy itself, wish people would stop assuming Sync===Lemmy. Sync is how you view lemmy, it's not Lemmy
