Great user experience so far 👍 @n1k0 ! One thing I miss though is the ability to filter the main timeline based on regular expressions:

Here I filter on hashtags I don't want to see because of the flood it generates. Is there a way to do that I didn't see yet?

I was reluctant to implement client-side filtering (mostly because we'd have to filter some html tag soup, as mastodon statuses are generated html and there's no raw text source), but I've just inspected the official Web client and it seems there's an undocumented API for managing server-side filtering and notifications:

Nice, tempting to use it even if undocumented 😉

Now the hard part will be to find where to put it on the UI…

This is discussed in https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/3529. Any input there would be appreciated.
