Discourse seems to priotize watching over muted. Need someone to confirm this is still the case.
For example, a user enjoying HMV but not furry may add hmv to their watched list and furry to their muted list. A topic about furry-themed HMV has both of these tags, it will show up in their Latest because they are watching hmv.
My solution is not to use the automatic watch/track feature for tags. Instead add these tags to your navigation menu and access them from there. Browsing this way will respect your muted tag. You can also turn on the unread counts in your settings.
