Here’s me explaining the same idea to somebody else in perhaps simpler, or at least different, terms. One of these posts may help clarify confusions raised in the other. > [@Here is a way to view all of your muted threads](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/here-is-a-way-to-view-all-of-your-muted-threads/1005802/20): > > Aha. IMO Latest posts is the most useless thing. Since, as you’ve noticed, it throws up all sorts of stuff you’re not interested in. And forces you to take active measures to push the junk out of the way. My habit FWIW, is to start on New posts; that’s where my one and only SDMB browser favorite goes. From teh New list I open all the ones that look interesting in new tabs, then click [Dismiss New] to hide the rest from the New list. Then I’ll go read those new posts in their separate tabs. … I know there’s another thread where I did this too, but I cant find it tonight. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fomo-navigating-the-dope/1012594)._
