It would be good to display whatever the real error is instead of this erroneous message.
I don’t even use filters except for a very short list of user filters from before the block API was implemented in Sync. I do, however have a very large list of blocked communities on the server, but I don’t see why the Lemmy API would generate an empty page of posts due to my server-side blocks. Is it not smart enough to generate a page of posts after excluding my blocked communities? I’ve written a lot of paged database queries with filters, and implementing blocks after performing the query would be pretty dumb.
I’ve been getting that one fairly often and I have no filters enabled at all, so it might be unrelated
