If you create a post using 5 tags, users will not be able to see the post when they browse the 4 secondary tags. It will only show up in the new/hot/trending category of the main tag. If you create it using 4 tags though, then it will show up when users browse the primary tag as well as the 3 secondary tags.
Example 1 (OK):
- Tags: glitch steem steemit news
- Users will see the post when browsing the glitch, steem, steemit, and news tags.
Example 2 (Not OK):
- Tags: glitch steem steemit news issue
- Users will only see the post when browsing the glitch tag.
- Users will not see the post when browsing the steem, steemit, news, and issue tags
This was reported by @jacobcards in this post. There is an error with the Steem blockchain API which is causing it.
Here is the GitHub issue to track the issue/fix:

Thanks for the credit :D

I noticed this too, but it was not until @karenmckersie mentioned it that I really began to think of it as a glitch. Now you are confirming her suspicions, thanks.
ps, I also noticed that I still have my Followers but lost most of those I was following....weird
let me fix that, those I was following are now back again.

There is a separate glitch related to the followers. The followers aren't actually "lost" - they are just not being shown properly. I think refreshing it fixes it. They are aware of it, and working on a fix.

I don't either.
on the new busy format posts are indexed by tag. It might make a difference there, but here it's like bobbing for apple. You get what pops up next. I don't think tags matter.

I dug into it a bit. It turns out the "Mute" is actually working properly. The info that is reported on steemd.com is a little misleading/confusing. I replied to your post with more details :)

Is that the reason for some of the tags in trending which appear to have never been used when you check new?

How long has this been affecting posts? Is it due to the hard-fork or the updates just before it?

I am pretty sure it was introduced with the hard-fork.

Dang it! Have posted several blogs since the hard-fork and all did not get much attention. Perhaps that is why. :(
