When filtering with the topic filter fails [1] it’s very difficult to get back to /filter to try filtering for different criteria because the link in the sidebar remembers what you filtered last.
I know filters are in general quite sticky (How do I remove the user filter at the groups page?), but in those cases you do not only get an error.
I am not sure why it fails in this case I tried an example from the documentation topic ↩︎
I can repro this @sam Need a hard reload to access the page again.
Also no idea why it fails tho.
Seems to fail when you combine created-by and views- specifically
I get a little more detail in logs locally: column reference "views" is ambiguous
This seems to fix it

(still hard to escape the error state when it happens tho)
I think this is generally fine cause 500s are not something we should ever leave in the app anyway.
