Views Filters do not function correctly when used within a Homebox panel.
The general problem is, that ANY form used as homebox portlet, like:
can not work by concept, as their <form> parent element is removed, as homebox already places a <form> for sorting and regions around all elements. Forms may never be nested!
This makes it quite complicated, but the good thing is, that similar projects also had to solve this, for example see
#3045171: Form blocks rendered inside layout builder break save →
https://git.drupalcode.org/project/dashboards/-/commit/2c6bf6e
But that concept is quite complicated.
Layout paragraphs, which has a similar problem in preview, disables the form elements:

Options:
a) Do not use a form for wrapping the homebox portlets, instead only use a form for the add widget and AJAX for the repositioning
b) Separate "Edit" mode from regular "Display" mode. Adding elements, dragging, removing, etc. is only allowed in edit mode. Edit mode disables form elements like layout paragraphs does or only uses their name as representation to work around this problem.
c) Find another technical solution to make the form in form work...?
Until that is solved, we mitigate the issue by showing a warning when embedding a form or view in settings.
Create a View's Block with some exposed filters and insert it into a Homebox panel.
Change the filter and apply. The View refreshes but does not filter. It still shows all of the results.
I've tried with and without ajax enabled with no change in the outcome.
Note that the pager works. Only exposed filters are failing to function.
Alternatively, embed the search form or a Webform block.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
We'll fix this in 3.x by separating the homebox edit (drag & drop etc.) functionality from the homebox display. So they won't collide anymore.
For that reason we split editing from display in 3.0.x so this isn't an issue anymore 🎉
