View submission: [Release] v7.1: Follow Users, Audio Improvements, Comment Updates, and more!
Encountered a big problem: having submission title filters submission flair filters (about 5, VERY niche) caused every single subreddit to blank out completely — with the “nothing to see here” message. Deleting these restored functionality, but I haven’t tried to re-add them.
The filters were:
[For Hire] [FOR HIRE] [Hire Me] [HIRE ME]
…and perhaps another that’s similar. There are definitely not many submissions with those terms, and I’d never previously had a problem.
Don’t want this to sound like a rant though. The other changes are very positive — thank you!

Ah good catch, try adding them without the brackets (the filter will check if the text is contained, it doesn’t need to match the whole word). I’ll add an opt in for the Regex filters in the next update!

Looks like your filters may have been off a bit typically the [] are used to specify exact combinations, also you have to be aware if we pace characters so for example you could have written that filter like so
[[fFoOrR\shHiIrReE]] [[hHiIrReE\smMeE]]
or something similar
