[bug] Accounts in lists with "Hide posts on this list from Home/Following" still show up in the home timeline

[eti0]

Describe the bug with a clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I've recently noticed an issue with lists.
If a list has "Hide posts on this list from Home/Following" enabled in its settings, sometimes, some posts from members of that list will still show up the home timeline.

What's your GoToSocial Version?

0.17.4-SNAPSHOT+git-493de5c

GoToSocial Arch

amd64 Docker

What happened?

I have a list named "🏔️", it contains different accounts I wish to follow the posts of only when checking the timeline of this particular list :

I have checked "Hide posts on this list from Home/Following" in Phanpy, that setting is also accessible from Feditext and I made sure it worked there too.

Here's a screenshot of all the members of that list :

Now, here's a screenshot of my home timeline. For some reason, posts from accounts in that list still sometimes show up in my home :

What you expected to happen?

I expected the posts from members of that list to completely be hidden from the timeline.

How to reproduce it?

1. Create a list
2. Add some users to that list
3. Enable the "Hide posts on this list from Home/Following" option on that list
4. Check your home timeline.

Anything else we need to know?

A server restart (in my case, docker compose down && docker compose up) removes glitched posts from that list from the home timeline, as they should be.

Thanks! Will see if we can squeak in a fix for this before 0.18.0, but if not then we'll fix it for 0.19.0. It's only sometimes that they show up, right? Do you notice any patterns there?

[eti0]

Unfortunately no, I didn't notice any specific patterns, it happens with any type of post (reply, thread reply, single post, etc). I'll let the glitched posts come in and I'll update you if I do start seeing some kind of a pattern.. Thanks a lot!

[eti0]

Think I found a pattern. Seems like it might only be posts that have a special status.. Like unlisted or followers only posts:


In the screenshots above, these are posts that reached my home timeline. They are all "special" (they all have specific icons in Phanpy).

Oh, so it's just non-public statuses? No counterexamples? That does seem relevant.

[eti0]

That's what I've seen so far. Will keep you updated if I do see any counterexamples!

Checked my timeline and saw I had a glitched post, but this time it was public one, so I don't know what to make of this 🫠

[tsmethurst]

Hiya, just checking something, does this also occur on clients other than phanpy? Just wanna be sure to eliminate the possibility that it might be a client issue.

[eti0]

It also happens with Pinafore and Feditext, so I'm guessing other clients too..

Thank you!
