Would you please have a look at the moderation filters again?

What's Hot Classic is full of porn since about 1-2 weeks. Even posts that are flagged with porn tag get shown. And I do have the porn tag as a muted word/tag, too. I changed nothing in my moderation settings either.

The Discover feed has "disappeared" again, same as last time.

@deck.blue

I just reloaded and updated to +336 and pretty much all feeds are gone. I'm just seing Home, you, notifications, likes, media. I didn't have you, likes, media before the reload and 3-4 other feeds are missing.

@deck.blue

I have reposts OFF for my Home stream and I am still losing a lot of posts that get reposted and simply do NOT appear in my home stream even though I follow the original poster.

This is quite bad and really needs to be fixed, please.

I'm occasionally using deck.blue as a Safari PWA on my iPad (iOS 17.1).
When I didn't start the app for a couple days I sometimes have to log in again.
Is that expected behaviour?

Unless you are a physicist this will probably induce an instant headache - I sure got one, LOL.

Still very interesting and a recommended watch:
