Filters for the Content

Is there a list of what you can enter in the "Filters for the content" field?

@Hubzilla Support Forum There is no complete, fully exhaustive list of everything you can do with the filters.

There ought to be an explanation with at least some examples in the help under "The stream". But for reasons unknown, the various subpoints which that section should have are missing.

Instead, you can find the full help here (German) and here (English).

Fair warning: These filters are not really easy-peasy to use once you really dive into the (theoretical) possibilities. I even suspect them to have an issue or two which are largely undiscovered because few people actually use the filters to their full extents.

That's why I've started some testing with two experimental channels to reverse-engineer what's possible with the filters, what isn't, what's actually buggy and where the undocumented pitfalls are.
