A feed can have several rules that hide or show posts. Here is how they combine.
- A Hide rule always gets its way. If any Hide rule on a feed matches a post, the post is hidden.
- Only show rules let a post through when at least one of them matches it. If a feed has two Only show rules, a post that matches either one shows.
- A Hide rule still hides a post that an Only show rule lets through.
For example, with "Only show posts with China" and "Hide posts with Ford" on the same feed, a post titled "Ford eyes China in Q4" is hidden: it shows for China, then Ford hides it.
Rules made before October 2026 with the setting "Advanced: Must always be true" keep working the same way. Hide rules now always hold, so the setting is gone from the editor.
