The “ **default tags muted** ” setting together with “ **remove muted tags from latest** ” doesn’t seem to work.
The users can still view the muted tag topic in the /latest.
Could anyone pls check and confirm if this is broken?

@vinothkannans is testing out some issues with the new feature.
Vinoth any ideas here?

You may not applied the “`default tags muted`” site setting historically for all users. Please check whether existing users have the muted tags in preferences page (`/u/USERNAME/preferences/tags`) or not.

This is my current setting. I was expecting that if I add “expired” tag and mute it, the topics tagged with “expired” will not appear in the /latest topic list.
What am I doing wrong here:

Default though only applies to new accounts not existing ones.
Try removing the mute and re-adding it:
Then this will show up… click Yes

I was expecting the topics muted for “expired” tag for non-logged in users. So, this doesn’t work for users who are not logged in?
I want to exclude few topics not to appear in the topic list (/latest) for all users both logged in and non-logged in users.
Could you help me with the setting.
Thanks

We should probably change it so default mute applies to anonymous @vinothkannans

Where can I find the option to mute specific tags for “anonymous” users.
I can’t find this in the tags settings ☹
If this feature needs to be developed, I think it will be a great addition to exclude topics for specific tags to not to appear in the /latest , /new topic lists for all users (including anonymous users).
At the moment, this exists for a specific category to mute for all users but the only problem is that we need to change the current topic category to something specific (like “Expired”) but this is not a desired user experience.
Thank you

There is no option, but we are considering making this default behavior. If stuff is default muted, anon should get that as well.

Now the `default_tags_muted` site setting will hide the muted topics for the anonymous users.

I tested it and it is still broken for anonymous users (Not logged in users). The muted topic still shows up in the /latest ☹
I upgraded to the latest commit using the command line because /admin/upgrade page shows blank:

Muted tag in my admin settings:
Could you pls check.
