What could be done to be efficient media filtering? I would like to use this filter to only see notes that contain images and videos.

It’s not too hard to implement, since most notes already contain images or videos.

But if someone wants to filter only notes with videos, it becomes much less efficient. For example, if you fetch 100 events and only 5 contain videos, the other 95 are essentially wasted. From the user’s perspective, it just feels like the feed is loading very slowly.

If the other 95 did not contain video, seeing only the 5 that contains video is exactly what this user wanted, I did not understand what you meant.
