Hello,

The issue is that if you go to [`/new`](https://meta.discourse.org/new) and press ‘Dismiss New’ then the page reloads but the topics don’t disappear.

We have been fiddling with the implementation to add support for dismiss new on tags, assume you have a repro on meta? Can you leave as is and we will debug
