The following dialog is open, and you could select and deselect available channels, tags, and languages:

Some of the channels and languages can be mandatory to follow depending on organization policies and the audience’s definition; therefore, they are locked, and users can’t unfollow them.

When the dialog is saved the page is refreshed, and stories are displayed applying these filters:

1. Stories belonging to any of the selected channels (locked included) OR
2. Stories belonging to any of the selected tags AND
3. Stories containing any of the selected languages (locked included)

Translations to be displayed in results will apply these criteria (in order):
