Remove topics of muted categories from "Latest" list

Forum Help
#1

The “Latest” list on the forum’s home page is (at times) really useful, though having topics from a category I have muted yet still show up in the Latest posts list is a bit annoying as it washes away posts I may actually be interested in from the Categories I DON’T have muted…

I believe this could also lead to more user engagement on the forum as someone can quickly pop in the forum and check out the Latest posts, and they’d have a much higher chance they’ll see something they could be interested in.

Edit: Heres an example:

I have not visited any of these topics in order for them to be marked as such, as well as their parent sub-category is marked as “Muted” yet they still appear on my latest list

Isn’t this a suggestion for discourse?
You can make them here:

Topics shouldn’t be appearing in latest unless you’re tracking or watching them, which may occur if you visit them depending on your notification settings.

Can you give an example?

I see, I misunderstood what you were talking about as the latest category on the home page. Might want to make that a little more explicit.

You’ll want to put this on the Discourse meta so that all forums can benefit from this feature, since it seems a very generic improvement. We can’t really prioritize this for a plugin on our end since we try to focus on things that are specifically helpful to the developer forum.

Alrighty, thanks (also thanks @PMGDesigns)

I’ve posted the suggestion here; hope it goes somewhere!!

Looks good, you’ll wanna move that to #feature on their forum though.
