How to use filters? (midwest.social)

I'm having trouble getting community/domain filters to work the way I expect.

My goal is to be able to filter out certain domains/communities that tend to post spam and inside jokes when browsing "everything" (same way I used to filter out random communities from /r/all on Reddit) but adding domains or community names does not appear to work at all.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

If I'm right about what you're asking, you can do this from the actual post while you're scrolling. You use the 3 dot menu then tap on filters. This gives the option to filter the user, community, domain or the entire instance. Hope this helps.

Settings -> Filters -> Instance filters -> INSTANCE NAME

This is working just fine for me. Perhaps you need to update if yours isn't?

Edit: ahhh, I actually haven't tried specific granular filtering, only the whole instance. Sorry!

No that actually helps a lot! I was actually trying to filter an entire instance, but thought I had to do so but putting the domain of that instance into "Domain Filters"
