## ⚠ This has been disabled as of 2023-11-26T16:00:00Z

See [The "new new" has been enabled on Meta - #31 by sam](https://meta.discourse.org/t/the-new-new-has-been-enabled-on-meta/278811/31)

### What it is?

Over the past year we have experimented with a refined pattern for new/unread.

The setting `experimental_new_new_view_groups` on meta now has `trust_level_0` which enables this feature for everyone.

This setting “merges” the lists for `new` and `unread` into a unified list:

**old way** : New / Unread  
**new way** : New (New Topics / New Replies)

### Why?

This experiment is running for multiple reasons:

1. Over the years people have complained Discourse is too complex, this is an attempt at simplifying things.

2. This unlocks counts that are simply a number in the sidebar. When you enable `show count of the new items` in your sidebar you get a very clear understanding of backlog.

### Will this become default?

We are not sure yet, we are gathering feedback, let us know what you think of the change.

It optimises for the “inbox 0” crew and may be less of an optimisation for people that sit on large “new” lists.

Let us know what you think.
