All I did was click on one of the tags.

Home > Explore Tags > Bitcoin (for instance).

And yes - you're right: When I view the additional filters, "Following" is pre-selected and I follow zero accounts (just signed up). If I switch it to "All" it works as expected.

So maybe an obvious suggestion there: In the case where a user has zero follows, either pre-select "All", or on the "No results" page, note which additional filters are in effect (like, "Filtering by 'following' (0 posts)" or something)

Thanks for clarifying.
