I have a site with a bunch of muted categories. These categories and topics are hidden when visiting as a logged-in user, but anonymous users see these categories (on `/categories`) and topics from those appear in `/latest`.

EDIT: FWIW:

```
      <meta name="generator" content="Discourse 2.8.0.beta4 - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version b673fee9464e823de3c3423a5f8c45732896b429">
