Continuing the discussion from [Watching and tracking implementation for tags and categories](https://meta.discourse.org/t/watching-and-tracking-implementation-for-tags-and-categories/46987):

There’s one piece of logic I don’t think we cover yet:

- “this is a topic” was created in 2015
- I join the forum in 2016. I track no categories, but I’m always on the lookout for 🆕 topics, i.e. topics that are completely new to me.
- “this is a topic” receives replies.
- the only way for me to spot this topic is to notice it as unopened in Latest.

In my opinion, the logic should be:

If a topic is completely unread and receives new replies, it should show up as 🆕 for me, so long as it also matches my `Consider topics new when` preference.
