Hmm I was a little hasty here, there isn’t quite consensus on this yet internally…will just give it some time to breathe first.

I prefer having the single New (NN count) number on DiscourseHub. I think it’s a better option for most users. It’s simpler and it matches what we show on the community’s main menu. The Topics/Replies distinction is secondary, and users who really need it can filter by TOpics/Replies once they’re in the New list in the site.

I can understand the argument for simplicity. For me, there’s a difference between a new topic that might interest me and new posts in a topic where I’ve already decided it interests me. That’s why I’d like to be able to see right in the app’s overview what priority the new content has for me, without having to visit the forum and log in first. For me, the strength of DiscourseHub is precisely that I have an overview of all the forums I use without having to visit them individually. That’s what I’m missing right now for Meta. If I need to visit Meta and log in anyway to get the information, I don’t need to check DiscourseHub

Yeah, I think we are going for simplicity for now. Remember that in Hub we show other numbers for notification counts. It’s helpful to have that simplicity and match what core does.
