Sometimes I mute threads that have lots of replies, for example, patch notes or news. These threads have thousands of replies and are constantly showing up on the latest list. So I mute them.
But when I go to the news or patch notes category, they don’t show either. When I mute a topic it specifically says that I won’t be notified and it won’t show in latest. Not that it’s hidden altogether. And if I search for the topic, it shows up in search, so I feel like this is unintended.
