Category activity notification indicators with a default filter
If I have a default filter set for a category, only a subset of posts will show up when I view that category. Other posts are not shown. If a post I will not see has activity, the new activity indicator for that category is redundant, because I will not be able to see the active post due to my default filter.
Should the activity indicator show up:
- For all posts in that category?
- Only for posts that a user can see with their default filter?
- Either of these, based on a user preference?

Implement the simple way
Until/unless there is demand for a user preference setting, we should simply implement the matching of the activity indicator to the default filter:
- For new activity in/under a post that is shown by the filter, there should be an activity indicator next to the category name.
- For new activity in/under a post that is not shown by the filter, there should be no activity indicator.
