does someone who knows react/redux and has some familiarity with the mastodon frontend feel like giving me some feedback on the code in this PR? https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/pull/7801

@chr yea gimme a sec i'll take a look ;)

@kibi thanks kibi!!

@chr made comments~

@chr i don't know the specifics of what you're doing well enough to know if this will be helpful advice but:

you might want to give the column a react state that is used iff the redux state is absent (aka it is not a pinned column)

a couple other components use this pattern: use the prop if present, use a local react state if not

@chr one thing that's a little weird/different about this approach though would be that the state wouldn't be kept across closing/reopening the column, which (i think??) is different from how it is stored for things like "show reblogs" (which is preserved across closing/opening the home timeline i think??) so maybe ignore this advice and copy that method of storing things ^^;;

@kibi that was my first thought, but "show reblogs" works by setting a filter on the status list (entirely clientside), while this requires actually subscribing to a different timeline (public:media or community:media) and replacing the status list

which is fine, they can do that just dandy when in a column where i can update the onlyMedia property, but unlike show reblogs / show replies, onlyMedia isn't read out of the redux state it seems like
