Describe the bug
When in an instance, having "Hide Friends in Same Instance" checked hides all players in private instances, whether or not they are in your instance.
VRCX correctly shows which players are in your instance, even if they are on orange, so it seems it's just overly-aggressively hiding them.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Open Settings -> Appearance -> Side panel
Enable "Group by Instance" and "Hide Friends in Same Instance"
Join a VRC instance with friends - if the instance is empty (unsure if populated with others) this will not reproduce.
Toggle "Hide Friends in Same Instance" and you will see unrelated friends in private instances will be hidden.

Note: if this doesn't work immediately, try refreshing the friends list via the refresh button at the top right of the sidebar to make the "Same Instance" section appear.

Expected behavior
Players in unrelated private instances should still be visible on the sidebar when "Hide Friends in Same Instance" is enabled

Screenshots
I'd rather not expose my friends list, this is easy and consistent to reproduce.

What version you are running
VRCX 2025.03.01
