 - `emoji_base`: base url for emoji images. default: same as `base`
 - `encode_msgids`: whether to URL-encode message ids in local links. default: `true`
 - `auth`: HTTP auth password. default: `null` (no password required)
+- `filter`: Filter setting. `"all"` to show all messages. `"invert"` to show messages that would be hidden by the default setting. Otherwise the default setting applies, which is so to only show messages authored or upvoted by yourself or by a feed that you you follow. Exceptions are that if you navigate to a user feed page, you will see messages authored by that feed, and if you navigate to a message page, you will see that message - regardless of the filter setting. The `filter` setting may also be specified per-request as a query string parameter.
