Setting "Filtered keywords" occasionally forgets its values

Open BillyTom opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug I have a filter for certain keywords in Voyager. I am talking about the option that is located in "Settings => Filter and Blocks => Filtered keywords"

A few weeks ago I noticed that posts that contained one of my filtered keywords in its title showed up in my feed. When I checked the Voyager settings I noticed that the setting "Filtered keywords" was an empty list. My other filters (blocked communities, blocked users) were still intact. I added my keywords again and then forgot about it.

Today I noticed again that some posts with filtered keywords were showing up in my feed, and when I checked the setting it was empty again.

It might be noteworthy that I use Voyager mostly on my desktop computer, and only occasionally on my phone. At both times when this problem showed up, I was using Voyager for desktop.

The feed that I was browsing when I noticed this issue was https://m.lemmy.world/posts/lemmy.world/home

To Reproduce Hard to reproduce. Each time it happened there was a few weeks time between it. Maybe it only happens when a new version of Voyager is release. The next time when an update notification shows up I will check my filter settings before after I make the update.

Expected behavior I do not expect the setting "Filtered keywords" to be emptied occasionally.

I updated from 2.35.0 to 2.35.1 and the bug did not occur

The bug occured again today. I was asked to log in my account. I selected lemmy.world as a home instance and I entered my username and password. When I checked my settings the keyword list was empty again:

The other two lists "Blocked users" and "Blocked communites" were still intact.

Does anyone else experience something like this?

Is it possible you were viewing with a different account? Filters and blocks are per-account, not global, so if you switch accounts they will change.
