Use Default Reading Filter by Default
Title:
Use Default Reading Filter by Default
Area:
reading filter, reading page
Summary:
The default reading filter should be applied to the reading page when the reading page is viewed by anyone, not just when viewed by the logged-in journal owner
Description:
The default reading filter is how one's reading page is usually served to one. However, if one has to view the reading page while logged out (maybe one is at a computer where one suspects they might be keylogged), one is currently obligated to have all subscribed journals appear on it.
I also would like the default reading page to be default for all viewers because I have an off-label use for reading filters, to wit: if something keeps appearing in my network page that I would really rather not see, I will subscribe to it and *not* put it on my default reading filter page, and then it is neither on my usual reading page nor on my network. However, if I approach my reading list while not logged in (maybe I just cleared cookies from my cache, maybe I'm at the library and about to login, whatever) then whatever it is that I was trying to avoid may pop up on my reading page.
I can't imagine any real downside to this. I mean, I guess somebody could put in the work to figure out which of your subscriptions were in your default reading filter or not, so there's a minor loss of privacy, but other than that, I can't think of anything.
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.
