Not really sorted it aside from possible nagging about keeping the categories under control. Time passes so I can’t remember how long CAMRA Discourse has been running but it’s doing “okay”. @HAWK will be aware of some of the softer issues one raised over on Fever Bee.
Whilst I’ve got used to the way everything is lumped together and non-categorised by default, it does cause the more infrequent visitors a little bit of trouble. But we’re getting there.
I do personally find myself reading topics that I’d prefer not to read because of the way they are presented on the latest timeline.
I random thought just hit me - there are many topics that I’m not really directly interested in but if they got really busy, I might want to re-visit. Muting a topic is too draconian IMO. Maybe a “Mute unless it gets busy”. Yes, I know that’s a very nebulous end user requirement.
In our helpdesk system, I often “snooze” tickets. I do want to action them but not right now. So maybe a snooze feature, e.g. mute this topic for N days. For threads that I do want to read when I’ve got a moment spare but don’t want them in my “Latest” list right now.
Just thinking out loud.
