I’m struggling to figure out the logic for the visibility on this empty state.

I have a custom list that display events. The filters for the list are:

- If boolean true & current event owner’s followers = logged in user & date is after start of today
- OR if current event owner = logged in user & data is after start of today

So this essentially mean that events always exist in the database so it’s not as simple as just checking against the count of events. Any suggestions on an approach here?
