-Fix bug with filter resetting based on user ownership
+Fix bug: previously the filter would be set to "all" on page load, even if the `initiallySelectedFilter` on the `DefaultCatalogPage` was set to something else, or a different query param was supplied. Now, the prop and query params control the filter as expected. Additionally, after this change any filters which match 0 items will be disabled, and the filter will be reverted to 'all' if they're set on page load.
