Continuing the discussion from [The Official Discourse Tags Plugin: discourse-tagging](https://meta.discourse.org/t/the-official-discourse-tags-plugin-discourse-tagging/26482/87)

Wonder if anyone else agrees it would be handy to be able to track categories or tags and just be notified when a new topic is posted in one.

So for example on a dog breed forum you get a notification when a topic is posted about a certain breed of dog (the tag). Or on a gaming site you get notified when a topic is posted about a certain game (the tag) you might be following and interested in. People can then review the topic/thread and decide whether they want to watch or track it.

On Xenforo there is this - which I think works really well:
