Currently, when a hashtag such as #Firefox is filtered, it is hidden everywhere in the application. At the same time, if the user follows that hashtag, it appears across all lists.

Problem

There is no way to follow a hashtag globally while hiding it only in a specific list.

Proposed solution

Each list should have its own independent filters.
Filters added inside a list should only apply to that list and have no effect anywhere else in the application.

How to enable filters in a list

Inside a list, the user should have a section called “List filters”.

The user can:

Open the list
Go to the list settings
Click on “Filters”
Add a keyword or hashtag such as #Firefox
Save

From that moment, any content containing this hashtag will be hidden only within that list.

Concrete example

A user follows #Firefox to stay informed.

The user wants:

to see #Firefox in the main timeline
but not see it in a specific list called “Work”

They add #Firefox to the filters of the “Work” list.

User experience result

In the main timeline, posts containing #Firefox are visible as usual.

In the “Work” list, posts containing #Firefox are hidden.

Summary

Allow each list to have its own filters so that a hashtag can be hidden within a specific list, even if the user follows it elsewhere.
