Just noticed this as I was watching [Slick Image Gallery](https://meta.discourse.org/t/slick-image-gallery/81952), I’m not having #Customization > Theme component topics show up on the main page for me (`/latest`), is that intentional or a bug?

Could you check your notification level for the #broken tag?

**Edit:** Just to add, #Customization > Theme component topics show up for me, as well as for anon:

Strange, it was set to muted, though AFAIK I never did that. (And I could have sworn I’ve seen #broken topics on `/latest` before)

The #broken, #deprecated, and #unmaintained tags are default muted so people get an uncluttered list when browsing for new ones to add to their sites (and if anyone has an issue with a particular customisation they would normally find the topic through Search).

Though if you’re watching or tracking a topic at the topic level then that would take precedence, which is why you may have seen others?

Not sure, and the topic was set as tracking because I have my preferences set to make any topic I read as Tracking.

Hmm. I’m not sure then. 🤔 It we can come up with some repro steps to replicate we can slide it back over to #Contribute > Bug again.

Seems like a tag (like #broken) on Muted overrides per-topic settings, even on Tracking.
