Entity List: "all in list" (or support for multiple Entity "in list" blocks)

I am trying to create a feed of posts that have both #blacksky and #photography tags.
Creating a single Entity List block with "in list: hashtags: blacksky, photography" does not work, this lists posts with #blacksky OR #photography.
Creating two Entity List blocks — one with "in list: hashtags: blacksky", the other "in list: hashtags: photography" causes the scanner to pinwheel forever (over 700k posts in the preview tool with no results).
So a few suggested resolutions here…
- The feed should correctly recognize multiple "Entity List: In list: hasthags" blocks.
- The first dropdown should have the options "any in list" (replaces "in list" as an OR filter) and "all in list" (a new AND filter)
2a. If this resolution is pursued, the UI should either prevent multiple "Entity List: In list: hashtags" from being placed, or raise some kind of error.
Note that a combination of "Entity List: in list: hastags:" and "Entity List: not in list: hashtags" filters does work fine, so the issue seems to be the actual filter trying to handle contradictory instructions.

Your second solution, using two nodes each with a hashtag does work the way you want. The reason it's not finding results could largely be because that combination isn't used frequently. Graze can go back in time but not too far. You say it reached 700k, but in my experience if it doesn't find a match well before that, it's not going to.

Try testing your logic with two common hashtags, on a test feed, by remixing this feed to keep the other variables the same.

Image of the issue of filter in question, with combination of "in list" and "not in list" filters. removing either the "blacksky" filter or the "photography" filter results in a working feed, but does not give the results I need.
