I like that! I am going to try it and see how it goes to lower the level of ‘automated prompting’ I’m getting with new posts. Much appreciated.
(I made it a point to not use the word ‘noise’ in terms of describing new posts in this case (for me). None of it is ‘spam’, but too much feedback going on at once easily flusters me, which isn’t a problem with the software, it’s just me and I admit that setback for the sake of utmost clarity.)
EDIT: Too powerful and mutes too much. It erases any mentions of those muted categories (ergo their topics) in the ‘latest’ topic listing for everything I track, which I hope it wasn’t going to do. I just didn’t want to get ‘new’ notifications and be able to have a more fine-tuned list for ‘suggested topics’. It also only accounts for ‘watching’ and not ‘tracking’ which according to the user preferences cannot be auto-applied to a topic that I may enter or read for an extended period. Oh well.
