It’d be nice if Discourse allowed subscribing to an intersection of a forum category and tag. I want to subscribe to #documentation in #Project Discussions, but I don’t want to get emails when people add a bunch of random tags to things in Get Help\[1\]. [Topics tagged documentation](http://forum.ansible.com/tags/c/project/7/documentation) exists, but there’s no subscribe button. * * * 1. I’m always happy to help users; I just don’t want too many emails 😉 ---

+1. On the same topic, there is no notification for tags intersection either. You can search for the combination by using the intersection search[1]: `http://forum.ansible.com/tags/intersection/TAG1/TAG2/TAG3` For example for #awx + #collection : [http://forum.ansible.com/tags/intersection/collections/awx](http://forum.ansible.com/tags/intersection/collections/awx) But there is no subscribe button. So keeping an eye for a combination of them also requires to check a browser bookmark right now. [1] I originally posted about intersections [here](http://forum.ansible.com/t/would-it-make-sense-to-have-tags-for-every-module/514/3). ---

I’ve marked this for investigation tomorrow. There’s a couple of options but I want to test them first 🙂 ---

So, today, the only thing you can really do is to Watch the tag and then Mute the category. That won’t suit everyone, but it works for @gotmax23’s usecase, I think? There’s a setting in your prefs for which thing should win when Mute clashes with Watching: ![2023-09-28-152254_680x51_scrot](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/ansible/original/1X/65f370fcd80c3239f16520c2ef834a4f4b0e120b.png) Of course, you don’t always want to mute something, so there’s a wider usecase here. We do have some options: - Most obvious, there is a [feature request](https://meta.discourse.org/t/following-topics-with-an-intersection-of-tags-possible/273357) to follow intersections, go add a comment 😛 - We have [the /filter endpoint](https://meta.discourse.org/t/experimental-topics-list-filter-feature/263641) which can do some different things to the search (such as avoid subcategories, yay) - However you also can’t subscribe to that either - It’s also marked experimental, so … - We could enable the [saved searches](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-saved-searches/67901) plugin, which runs once a day and sends you a PM with new topics matched. - We could restrict the relevant tags from being used in #Get Help - That’s fine for, say, `#event` or similar which have no use in Help, but I wouldn’t want to have to duplicate tags (e.g. `#awx` vs `#awx-dev`). I’m going to go ask CDCK as well, but only saved-searches gives us net-new functionality. I can enable it if you want to try it, or you can play with the other approaches first? ---

I can try the mute option you suggested. I don’t see the harm in enabling the saved searches option, so why not 🙂? It definitely would be nice to have the ability to watch an intersection of categories and tags in the future. Thanks for the deatiled response! ---

Alright I enabled it for TL2+, so give it a try. I’ve also raised this with CDCK as promised, and this actually maps fairly closely onto an existing request from Fedora, so I’ll ping back here once I can share more 😉
