I think there are two scenarios and they need different messages:

1. latest tab is empty (I think @justin suggestion of “You’re all caught up! Ready to [start a new conversation]?” is a good one here.

2. New category is empty (or site is brand new, etc). This one needs more of an exhortation to create some topics so people have _something_ to talk about, and real actual topic examples of what the category is for (other than the category description)

</div>

How would scenario 1 happen:

> [@codinghorror](#):
>
> latest tab is empty

out of scenario 2 cases ? (EDIT: Oh, maybe by selecting TAGS !?)

There also is the “show tracked or watched topics” talked about above, but is “you’re all caught up…” the right message for this case ? (scenario 3 ?)

I put together a PR for this. The message is

> You’re all caught up! Ready to start a new conversation?

Does anyone know – is there a Plugin or Theme Component or config setting for this (yet 🙏 )?

Alternatively, can it be edited somehow through _ **`js.topics.none.latest`** _ or in the [config/locales/client.en.yml](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/10740/files#diff-d311cd526428b83a1ebb9ed9b457fb210800cc5f0e8188af7de7b5ce86aa5315)

Just visit `/admin/customize/site_texts` and search for “that’s sad”. You can change it to whatever you want.

EDIT: Though it looks like “that’s sad” has been changed in core. Looks like it’s just this now:

```plaintext
      bottom:
        latest: "There are no more latest topics."
        posted: "There are no more posted topics."
        read: "There are no more read topics."
        new: "There are no more new topics."
        unread: "There are no more unread topics."
        unseen: "There are no more unseen topics."
        category: "There are no more %{category} topics."
        tag: "There are no more %{tag} topics."
        top: "There are no more top topics."
        bookmarks: "There are no more bookmarked topics."

```

Je kunt het bericht ook aanpassen aan de categorie met de pseudo-klasse “after”:

> .category-next-events .topic-list-bottom::after {  
> content: ‘No event for the moment’;  
> }
> 
> .category-next-events .topic-list-bottom .footer-message {  
> display: none;  
> }  
> Je kunt een taal-pseudo-klasse toevoegen als je een meertalige site hebt.
