I did the following in quick succession:

1. Opened topic (said Normal)
2. Went back to topic list (cmd + [)
3. Went forward to topic (cmd +]) - topic says Tracked

So it looks like it probably got “tracked” right when I opened it, but that only was visible to me on the 2nd open.

We could try another topic where I only do steps 1-2 to confirm.

My goal is to follow along with all topics that get tagged with #chat. I _just_ enabled the sidebar theme here, which I think will also significantly help to address that need.
