 ## The issue
 
 As raised in [#1469](https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/-/issues/1469), the current user experience of Funkwhale can be poor if the content on a pod is of a low quality or is missing essential information. For example:

 ## Proposed solution
 
-To address this, Funkwhale should include a quality filter that enables administrators to put their pod's best quality content front and center when a user navigates to the `Explore` tab. This quality filter should enable the **admin** of a pod to set the following properties in the Funkwhale settings menu:
