Say I would like to see topics in categories I muted. How would I do that? On Meta, I muted the #News and Events > Forum summaries category. But going to `/?state=muted` nor `/filter?q=in%3Amuted` show them. How then would I see all muted categories, if there’s more than one so going to the catgory page is not an option? Is this a bug? While trying to build [this](https://meta.discourse.org/t/now-in-beta-plugin-to-see-tl3-progress-for-tl2-users/408543/26), I realised that even the ‘Show’ link in Preferences \> Tracking does not show the muted category’s topics (it links to `/?state=muted`). So I’m wondering if this could be a bug.
