I created a new category called ‘Canned Responses’ that has about 20 topics in it. We use this category for our ‘Discourse Templates’ so I don’t want them showing up in my Latest feed.
I went and added the category to the ‘default muted’ list and it asked if I should update for existing topics and I said yes.
They still showed up in my latest list. My best guess is that because I’m the author of all those topics that it excluded me from the muting, but I don’t want to see them as they’re just templates.
I used bulk update to mute them all but now they’re missing from both latest AND the category list.
It appears to only be an issue for me. I logged in as another user that has permissions to see the Canned Responses category and they are able to see them in the category but don’t see them under latest.
Is there a setting that will hide them from latest, but not hide them in the category for author? As other users start adding topics to the category I’m guessing they will show up in their latest feed too.
And finally, it appears that the text is inconsistent with what happens.
It says it will be hidden in latest, but does not say it will be hidden in the category as well.
