Exclude category from New list

One of our users has requested a way to see New topics (topics created within the last few days) but exclude topics from a certain category from that list. We’re using a specific category to collect requests & they’re not interested in seeing those requests.

It looks like they can mute the entire category to achieve this but that’s a bit of a blunt instrument because they are interested in seeing the discussion in those category’s topics.

Is it possible to enable them to retrieve a list of New topics, whether by creating a top menu option, adding a ‘not’ operator to search results or customising a URL perhaps, to exclude this topic?

It looks like they should be able to search for in:first after:2019-05-01 if there’s a way to exclude specific categories from search results? I’ve seen that this can be done with tags but -#support for example doesn’t work. Although even if this is an option it’d still require them to update the date each day so it’s not ideal.

J’ai besoin de la même fonctionnalité. De plus, la solution de mise en sourdine semble avoir un bug : Possible Bug in Parent Category Mute
