I just fixed this, will deploy to in the next few days.
New behavior (and bugfixes)
- Topics in muted categories will not be added to new or latest lists (was buggy as numbers would go up via message bus)
- Topics in muted sub-categories will not show up in category list
- Unread will work as normal, so if you have unread stuff in topics which have a muted category it will still show up in unread.
- Nuked all the rows that said we were muting stuff.
- @mentions will always work even on muted categories, unless the topic is explicitly muted
I am on the fence on if we should add a bypass on latest list for topics that you have explicitly tracked or watched, it can be done but is both expensive and can be counter intuitive.
