> Is there a way to have the Latest feed only show Watched categories? In our case we’ll likely have a lot of categories, but many people only care about subsets of those. The default behavior appears to be that Latest lists everything that a person doesn’t explicitly mute. Is there a way to change that behavior so Latest only lists categories that a person explicitly watches?
