Hello,
Yeah it seems to that’s the case.
Steps to reproduce
In preferences/categories add a watched-first category.
In preferences/tags add a muted tag.
Using another user, create a post with the watched-first category and the muted tag.
Check /notifications
Expected behavior
The new post should not appear.
Actual behavior
The new post appears.

If instead of watching-first category, you choose watched or tracking, the behavior is as expected (the new post does not appear).

I think the workaround here is using tags notifications instead category. Remove the category from Watching First Post and add tags to Watching First Post instead.
