### New Groups

The first change to Tildes in June was the addition of 5 new groups:

* ~books
* ~food
* ~hobbies
* ~lgbt
* ~health

And also the creation of the first sub-group: ~tildes.official, which now features any official announcements as well as [the Daily Discussions](https://tildes.net/?tag=daily_discussion). This sub-group also sparked the ability for only admins to create topics. You can read more about it in [the announcement topic](https://tild.es/1e1).

### Default Sorting

The default sort order has been changed from "Activity, All Time" to "Activity, 24 Hours". You can also set your own default sort order which will apply to your general topic listing of groups you're subscribed to and the topic listing of any group you visit.

To change your default sort order you can select any order you'd like to save and click on the "Set as default" button.

Read more about it [here](https://tild.es/1sn) and [here](https://tild.es/1vx).

### Mark Notifications As Read

A new setting was added to [the settings page](https://tildes.net/settings) that will allow you to automatically mark all your notifications as read once you visit the notifications pages. It's off by default, so check it out if you haven't already. In case you accidentally mark any of your notifications as read, you can always find all of them [here](https://tildes.net/notifications).

### Tags

A bunch of features involving tags have been including filtering to show or hide posts with some tags, [a discussion on standardization and guidelines](https://tild.es/2ab).

You can access your filter to hide by clicking the "Edit filtered tags" in the sidebar or by navigating to [your settings](https://tildes.net/settings/filters).

To filter out topics to only show with specific tags you can click on any tag from a topic or append `?tag=tag` to the URL. Like this: `https://tildes.net/~tech?tag=security`, it'll only show you topics tagged with `security` in the ~tech group.

Read more about it [here](https://tild.es/28n) and [here](https://tild.es/2a9).

### Topic Log

June 18th saw the introduction of the topic log. A log of changes made to a topic, located in the sidebar. Currently the only things logged are if a topic is (un)locked, if someone has changed the tags and/or [edited the title](https://tild.es/2p6).
