TL;DR: I think it's a bug in how v1.4.41 handles admin-hidden communities. You should be able to just click the "Eye" button to reveal the post, but I doubt I'll fix it on the 1.4.41 version since 1.5 is close to release.
If you click the "eye" button to reveal it, what community is it?
Could be one of the following:
For the first, go to Settings -> Filtering and see if any are listed in the communities section.
For the latter, I'd need to know if the community is hidden by the admins to see if it is a bug in the way those are handled.
(I'm the Tesseract dev)
The current release version is pretty far behind the dev branch I use daily, and I've completely rewrote how those filters work, but I tried #1 on the old version and it shows a different message:
Which makes me think it must be a bug in how admin-hidden communities are handled. If you can let me know what community that is, and confirm if it's admin-hidden, that would be helpful.
As I said, I've completely re-written the way the filters work in v1.5 so I'll have to add a check so that hidden communities aren't set with the
filterflag if you're subscribed to them (which I think is how the API handles it).I just checked the filter processing code on the 1.5 dev branch, and it doesn't trigger on hidden communities at all, so if that is the case, it should be fixed in the upcoming version.
thanks for the reply. filtered is empty and the community is !die_reklame@feddit.org
this is how it shows in the sidebar (subscribed). went through all options and nowhere is it listed as blocked/silenced/whatever.
yes, clicking "show" reveals the post.
Ok, thanks. That red eye slash icon means it's an instance-hidden community so there's no workaround other than clicking the button to show the post. I've confirmed this is a bug in how instance-hidden communities are handled by the filtering options. It's fixed in 1.5 but it's not quite ready to release yet.
