Maybe a couple of Tips to use the new Community Forum (Discourse),

## Mute Categories

As I am not a fan of the Dutch or Swedish Language i wanted to mute them and don’t see the new discussions in that categories. (Bet could also apply for a Non developer wanting to mute the Developer discussions.)

Go to your Preferences: Click Right Top - Your Picture - Click the Gear:

Click in the left column - Notifications - Categories  
Fill in the Categories you want to mute:

## Mute Topics

Individual topics can easily be muted or followed by changing the option on the end of the topic.

Mute what you don’t want to see or set Tracking/Watching if you like to get updates. Discourse wil automatically change on replying but you could change it yourself without need to reply with a useless “Following”😉

Also please use only the ❤ if you like it and don’t reply with useless “Agree” of +1’s

And Last but not least, feel free to Report [Flag] 🏴 if you think something is not OK.  
(But maybe also check [FAQ - Homey Community Forum](https://community.homey.app/faq) )
