We did a fast followup here:

merged 01:53AM - 10 Sep 26 UTC
Followup https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/3dfc739016f9ee6523d91a5b6… b28d0968ef028e6
When a channel section is empty because no channels match
the filter, we no longer show a bulky message + link for
the empty state.
Now, we show an eye icon in the header of the section, which
allows users to temporarily disable their filter and see all
channels in the section, still respecting their sort preferences.
This applies in the sidebar and in the channel list.
This commit also extends the sidebar section header to allow
for more than one action button.
**DM section, no channels**

**DM section, all channels temporarily shown**

Now if a filter makes one of your sections empty, we show this button at the top of it to temporarily show all channels, and no longer show the empty placeholder which was a bit bulky:
